The lights shine down the valley

The wind blows up the alley

Oh, and how I wish I was

Lying in the arms of Mary

She took the pains of boyhood

And turned them into fell good

Oh, and how I wish was

Lying in the arms of Mary

Mary was the girl who taught me

All I had to know

She put me right on my first mistake

Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned

All she had to show

She really gave all a boy could take

So now when I feel lonely

Still looking for the one and only

That's when I wish I was

Lying in the arms of Mary

So now when I feel lonely

Still looking for the one and only

That's when I wish I was

Lying in the arms of Mary

Mary, Mary

Mary was the girl who taught me

All I had to know

She put me right on my first mistake

Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned

All she had to show

She really gave all a boy could take

The lights shine down the valley

The wind blows up the alley

Oh, and how wish I was

Lying in the arms of Mary

Lying in the arms of Mary

Lying in the arms of Mary

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Lying in the arms

Lying in the arms of Mary

Lying in the arms

Lying in the arms

Yeah, yeah, yeah
