The Tears In Marys Eyes
4/4 (slow with feeling) (Written by Billy Mcbolan)
Last night i kissed my gentle wife
And heard my babys cries
And thru steel bars i set them free
Goodbye thru Marys eyes
The hangman s calling for his coin
His rope of measured ties
And all the love i threw away
Lives on in Marys eyes
Iv e rode with thieves with souls ice cold
And fired my piistol true
For love of gold and flesh to hold
I wandered too far from you
(verse instrumental)
Iv e rode with thieves with souls ice cold
And fired my pistol true
For love of gold and flesh to hold
I wandered so far from you
My footsteps echo as they fall
The gallows weighed my size
A thousand beats my heart has skipped
Thru tears in Marys eyes
The rope feels cold across my throat
For sins Lord and my lies
Pray hold my hand before i drop
And dry my Marys eyes
