Charley Pride - A Word Or Two To Mary Lyrics
A word or two to Mary, please write a letter for meThat's what my buddy said to me todayI couldn't keep from cryin', sad eyes are looking at meHe said, I'll tell you what I wanted to sayOh, I don't mind dyin', I just hate to leave you aloneAnd I wish that I could watch the children growBut there's no use denyin', I won't be commin' homeJust a word or two to you before I goDown on my knees beside him, I begged my buddy to liveI told the Lord to please take me insteadBut a word or two to Mary was all my buddy could giveAnd just these words were all your husband saidOh, I don't mind dyin', I just hate to leave you aloneAnd I wish that I could watch the children growBut there's no use denyin', I won't be comming back homeJust a word or two to you before I goA word or two to Mary, I must add some of my ownHe was the truest friend I ever hadI'll keep writing letters to her to help the children alongTell them in a way that it's from their DadHe didn't mind dyin', he just hated to leave you aloneAnd he wished that he could see his children growI'll be standing by them as I know he'd want me toAnd write a word or two to Mary as they growAnd write a word or two to Mary as they grow
