Mary May

He saw her there, with the sunlight in her hair And he. Drew her in like a moth to the flame How could she know all the danger she was in When she. Gave her heart to that railroad man Oh Mary May, She was a baby When she met her stranger man In early spring As the sun was rising high Mary took to walking by the railroad side She met a man Who had travelled from afar Well he took her hand and he stole her heart Oh Mary May She was a baby When she met her stranger man He took her young That's how he liked them Who could blame him? She was his fool When he spoke of He spoke of love Her? Her soul was taken At fourteen years her soul was taken Fleeting hearts are blind For they come and go with the sands of time Oh Mary May She was a baby When she met her stranger man She would have fought for him, fought for him For the love she knew At the young age of fourteen years She would have fought for him Pull the trigger slow And blow her a kiss before you go Oh Mary May
