Mary's With Her Man

I remember when Mary left me

It was the winter of ’93

I guess I couldn’t be the man

She needed me to be

I know the river runs through the valley

And on out to the sea

And Mary’s with her man.. but he ain’t me

She was the prettiest girl in high school

And I was the biggest clown

I got down on one knee and asked her

I was the luckiest guy in town

But the river runs through the valley

And on out to the sea

Mary’s with her man.. and it ain’t me

Years and years of tougher times finally took their toll

Nothing I could do to console

Now Mary’s got a broken heart

But she pretends that she don’t care

And all I want is Mary, everywhere.

So I was walking down by the river

With nothing on my mind

And I see Mary walking to me

With tears welling in her eyes

And so the river runs through the valley

And flows on to the sea

And Mary’s with her man

And Mary’s with her man

Mary’s with her man.. and that man is me
