Burl Ives - Call Me Mr In Between Lyrics
I saved up my money to buy my sweetheart some flowersFor Saturday's date and I restlessly counted the hours.Then today in the mail I received this short little noteAnd I broke down inside at the message that her mother wrote.Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again;We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy till then.They know that she loves me, but poor boys don't fit in their plan.Good-bye true love, good-bye my sweet Mary Ann.The weeks have gone by not a word have I heard since then;In the papers I read of the far away places she's been.I can't eat, I can't sleep for over and over againMy mind reads that letter and I cry for my Mary Ann.Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again;We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy till then.They know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their plan.Good-bye true love, good-bye my sweet Mary Ann.My Mary Ann died, they said she just wasted away;If I could have seen her I know she'd be living today.For we loved each other and if they'd have left us alone,Today she'd be wearing my ring, not a blanket of stone.Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again;We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy till then.They know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their plan.Good-bye true love, good-bye my sweet Mary-Ann
