FOUR MARYS
John Allan Cameron


CHORUS
Last Night There Were Four Marys
Tonight There’ll Be But Three
There Was Mary Seaton, and Mary Wheaton,
And Mary Carmichael And Me


Little Did My Mother Think When First She Cradled Me
That I Would Die So Far From Home Or Hang From A Gallis Tree
They’ll Tie A Napkin Around My Eye, They’ll No Let Me See This Day
And They’ll Never Let On To My Mother And Father
But That I’m Away Over The Sea


REPEAT CHORUS


I Wish I Could Lie In My Own Churchyard, Beneath The Old Yew Tree
Where They Trea’ The Growin’ And Threa’ The Rowin’, My Brothers, My Sisters, And Me
And Little Care I For A Nameless Grave, If I’ve Hope For Eternity
And I Pray That The Fate Of A Dyin’ Thief Will Be Granted By Grace Unto Me


REPEAT CHORUS 4X TO FADE
