 | (verse 1)
Hello Mary, I’m doing fine.
I’m down here in Mexico, drinking cactus wine.
Almost every day.
Just called to say hey.
Living on the beach.
Soaking up the sun.
This would be great, if I wasn’t on the run.
But I’m running.
Yes, I’m running.
But I didn’t do what they say I did.
I wasn’t in town, never knew that kid.
No one would listen to me.
Good by Mary.
(verse 2)
Hello Mary, it’s been awhile.
I’d give anything, just to see your smile.
Yes, I’m alright.
Been driving all night.
Had to leave the beach, get away from the sea.
The Federalizes were looking for me.
So I’m running.
I’m still running.
And I don’t want to run for the rest of my life.
Want to come home, and make you my wife.
Don’t want to go on this way.
Good by Mary.
(verse 3)
Is this Mary?
My name is Jim.
I’m calling you about a mutual friend.
No, he’s not alright.
He was killed last night.
In a little village, where he was found.
The Federalizes shot him down.
When he tried to run.
He didn’t even have a gun.
His dying words, he said to me.
Please get a message to my sweet Mary.
I wrote it all down.
Are you ready?
(verse 4)
Hello Mary, don’t cry for me.
I believe, that I’m finally free.
No more running.
I’m done running.
And I want you to be happy for the rest of your life.
Find yourself a man, and become his wife.
And have babies.
Lots of babies.
He said, Good by Mary.
That was it.
Your name was the last word from his lips.
And I’m sorry.
I am so sorry..
Good by Mary.
Good by Mary..
Mary Good By…
