The light shines down the valley
The wind blows up the alley
Oh, how I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary
She took the pains of boyhood, and turned them into feel good
Oh, how I wish I were 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'd learned all she had to show
She really gave all a boy could take
So now when I feel lonely
Still looking for the one and only
That's when I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary
So now when I feel lonely
Still looking for the one and only
That's when I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary
Mary
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'd learned all she had to show
She really gave all a boy could take
The light shines down the valley
The wind blows up the alley
Oh, how I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary
Lying in the arms
Lying in the arm (yeah-yeah, yeah!)
Lying in the arms of Mary
Yeah-yeah, yeah!
