letra de mary dear - bill clifton

goodbye mary i must go
said a lad now don’t grieve so
for its duty calls me far across the sea
take this autumn leaf of gold
said the maid we’ll never grow old
always wear it near your heart and think of me

meet me yonder down the lane
when i come back home again
‘neath the tree where this autumn leaf once grew
kiss me mary then we’ll part
said the lad with a broken heart
when the leaves begin to fall i’ll be with you

i’ll bе there mary dear, i’ll bе there
when the fragrance of the roses fills the air
‘neath that oak tree grand and tall
when the leaves begin to fall
i’ll be there, yes, i’ll be there, sweet mary dear

see the lad with empty sleeve
and his comrades taking leave
they’re now home again, the transport has come back
if she loved you long ago
she won’t love you less i know
and one arm will do to hold her to you, jack
it was autumn time again
as he wandered down the lane
there beneath that old oak he found a grave
there he knelt in silent prayer
for the one he loved slept there
and the tears fell on the golden leaves she gave

i’ll be there mary dear, i’ll be there
when the fragrance of the roses fills the air
‘neath that oak tree grand and tall
when the leaves begin to fall
i’ll be there, yes, i’ll be there, sweet mary dear
