"Take A Message To Mary"
(Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant)
Intro:
E
These are the words of a frontier lad
G#m

E
Who lost his love when he turned bad
Verse 1:
E
Take a message to Mary
B7
But don't tell her where I am
E
Take a message to Mary
B7
But don't say I'm in a jam
C#m

You can tell her I had to see the world

But don't tell her I'm in jail
E
B7
E
Oh, don't tell her I'm in jail
Verse 2:
Take a message to Mary
But don't tell her what I've done
Please don't mention the stagecoach
And the shot from a careless gun
You can tell her I had to change my plans
And cancel out the wedding day
But please don't mention my lonely cell
Where I'm gonna pine away
Until my dying day
Verse 3:
Take a message to Mary
But don't tell her all you know
My heart's achin' for Mary
Lord knows I miss her so
Just tell her I went to Timbuktu
Tell her I'm searchin' for gold
You can say she better find someone new
To cherish and to hold
Oh, Lord, this cell is cold
Coda:
E
C#m
Mary, Ma-

B7
E
Oh, Lord this cell is cold
