Crazy Mary letra

She lived on a curve in the road, in an old tar paper shack
On the south side of the town, on the wrong side of the tracks
Sometimes on the way into town we'd say
"Mother, can we stop, give her a ride?"
Oh, sometimes we did but her hands flew from her side
Wild eyed, crazy Mary

Down along the road, past the Parson's place
The old blue car we used to race
A little country store with a sign tacked to the side
It said, "No L O I T E R I N G allowed"
Underneath that sign congregated quite a crowd

Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around
Oh, take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around, pass it around
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it a, pass it a, oh pass it around

One night the thunder cracked, Mercy backed outside her windowsill
Dreamed I was flyin' high above the trees, over the hills
Looked down into the house of Mary, yeah
A bare bulb was blown, newspaper-covered walls
And Mary rising up above it all, all, oh yeah yeah yeah oh

Next morning on the way into town
We saw some skid marks and followed them around
Over the curve through the fields into the house of Mary
That what you fear the most could meet you halfway
That what you fear the most could meet you halfway

Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around
Oh, take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around, oh pass it around
Take a bottle drink it down, pass it a, pass it a, pass it around, around
Pass it a, oh, pass it a, ah, pass it a, around, around, pass it a
