Mary in the Morning Lyrics

They didn't give me any warning
have to take a gun and join the fray
they said that I must do their fighting
but I don't want to go away
I must leave my Mary come to-morrow
go when my place is by her side
I'll have to leave her here in sorrow
and kiss the tears she tries to hide

refrein:
I'm leaving Mary in the morning
My life will never be the same
I must leave my love when day is dawning
Mary in the morning is her name
I don't know the men I'll be fighting
but I'm sure that we're all much the same
each one has a Mary in the morning
that he may never see again
They didn't give me any warning
I have to take a gun and join the fray
they said that I must do their fighting
but I don't want to go away
