Lyrics
Almost forgot
Started to say
Rode into the sun
Past everyone
Hallelujah, pretty Mary K
I found faith in the infirmary
There’s a soldier lying in bed
With a wound to the head
Calling out to pretty Mary K
Here’s what you get for things that haven’t happened yet
I happened upon pretty Mary K
But a soldier’s uniform waved you away
I walk round the dock and talk to St. James
Though I’m already done
And ask everyone “have you seen her?”
Pretty Mary K
Have you seen her?
Pretty Mary K
