merle haggard
my mary
I take a trip every evening  Strolling down memory lane I'm walkin' again those familiar paths  Dreaming those dreams again And I can always see my sweetheart  Just as she used to be Waiting for someone at the garden gate  And I know that someone is me Big brown eyes and pearly hair  And you'd tell that's Mary Rosy cheeks and ruby lips  Can't you tell that's Mary? Oft times in the evenings  We'd go strolling Hand in hand together  Beneath the pepper tree And I can feel her hand in mine  As I sit alone tonight Dreaming of the times I spent with Mary  Oft times in the evenings  We'd go strolling Hand in hand together  Beneath the pepper tree And I can feel her hand in mine  As I sit alone tonight Dreaming of the times I spent with Mary Oh, gee, wouldn't it be wonderful To open up the doors of the past And live again as yesterday? But you know no matter where I wander  No matter where I roam There'll always be a place in my heart, boys For a girl away back, for a girl that  I used to call Mary
