Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ode to Mary
Free spirits, free truth
[Instrumental]
My mama pinned a rose on me
I went to see, I went to see, I went to see
Mary Lou Williams played "Scorpio"
Ran them keys back inside the piano
Free spirits, free spirits
Free truth, free in the air
So sharp, so sharp
B Sharp, so sharp
So sharp they bleed
My mama pinned a rose on me
My mama pinned a rose on me
I went to see, I went to see, I went to see
Ode to Mary, ode to Mary
Spirits, free truth
Free in the air
So sharp, B Sharp
So sharp, so sharp they bleed
My mama pinned a rose on me
My mama pinned the rosary
My mama pinned the rose on me
Ode to Mary, yeah, ode to Mary
My mama pinned a rose on me
My mama pinned a rose on me
My mama pinned the rosary
I went to see, I went to see
Mary Lou Williams, ode to Mary
[Outro]
Took me to his grandmother's house
And I prayed at least eleven months before I came back to America
I cancelled all my work and everything and
I began praying for at least ten years straight
Off and on, Dizzy Gillespie, such a wonderful guy
He'd call me to go out on gigs with him
And I'd go back in the house and pray again, you know?
