Arms of Mary

The lights shine down the valley

The wind blows up the alley, oh

Well, I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary

She took the pains of boyhood

And turned them in to feel good, oh

How I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary

Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know

She put me right on my first mistake

Summer wasn't gone when I learned all she had to show

She really gave all a boy could take, oh

So now when I get lonely

I'm still looking for the one and only

That's when I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary

Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know

She put me right on my first mistake

Summer wasn't gone when I learned all she had to show

She really gave all a boy could take

The lights shine down the valley

And the wind blows up the alley, oh

Well, I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary

Lying in the arms of Mary

Lying in the arms of Mary

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
