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,
still looking for the one and only,
That's when I wish 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,
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.
