Align:    
  • They found mary bellows cuffed to the bed
  • With a rag in her mouth and a bullet in her head
  • O poor mary bellows
  • Shed grown up hungry, shed grown up poor
  • She left her home in arkansas
  • O poor mary bellows
  • She wanted to see the deep blue sea
  • She travelled across tennessee
  • O poor mary bellows
  • She met a man along the way
  • He introduced himself as richard slade
  • O poor mary bellows
  • Poor mary thought that she might die
  • When she saw the ocean for the first time
  • O poor mary bellows
  • She checked into a cheap little place
  • Richard slade carried in her old suitcase
  • O poor mary bellows
  • Im a good girl, sir, she said to him
  • I couldnt possibly permit you in
  • O poor mary bellows
  • Slade tipped his hat and winked his eye
  • And turned away without goodbye
  • O poor mary bellows
  • She sat on her bed and thought of home
  • With the sea breeze whistling all alone
  • O poor mary bellows
  • In hope and loneliness she crossed the floor
  • And undid the latch on the front door
  • O poor mary bellows
  • They found her the next day cuffed to the bed
  • A rag in her mouth and a bullet in her head
  • O poor mary bellows
  • So mothers keep your girls at home
  • Dont let them journey all alone
  • Tell them this world is full of danger
  • And to shun the company of strangers
  • O poor mary bellows
  • O poor mary bellows
