Waylon Jennings - Mary Ann Regrets Lyrics
(Harlan Howard)I saved up my money to buy my sweetheart some flowersFor Saturday's date and I restlessly counted the hoursThen today in the mail I recieved a short little noteAnd I'd broke down inside at the message that her mother wrote.Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you againWe'll leaving for Europe next week she'll be busy till thenThey know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their plansGoodbye true love, goodbye my sweet Mary Ann.The weeks have gone by not a word have I heard since thenI read in the papers of far away places she's beenI 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 againWe'll leaving for Europe next week she'll be busy till thenThey know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their plansGoodbye true love, goodbye my sweet Mary Ann.--- Instrumental ---My Mary had died too sad she just wasted awayIf I could have seen her I know she'd be living todayFor we loved each other and if they'd have left us aloneToday she'd be wearing my ring not a blanket of stone.Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you againWe'll leaving for Europe next week she'll be busy till thenThey know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their plansGoodbye true love, goodbye my sweet Mary Ann.Goodbye true love, goodbye my sweet Mary Ann...
