I went down to see lonesome mary
She was sitting all alone
She was crying for the contrariness

That made a desert of her home

She was weeping and a-wailing

You know she does it every day
I said mary, mary, mary, mary
How can you live that way


She said i don't know
Must be in my soul

I guess i must be the most contrary
Hard to get along with
Person in this world


Ooh, lonesome mary
Ooh, lonesome mary

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I went down to see lonesome mary

She was sitting all alone
She was crying for the contrariness
That made a desert of her home


She was weeping and a-wailing
You know she does it every day

I said mary, mary, mary, mary
How can you live that way


She said i don't know
Well, it must be in my soul
I guess i must be the most contrary

Hard to get along with
Person in this world


Ooh, lonesome mary
Ooh, lonesome mary
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah
