Bob Dylan - Take a Message to Mary текст песни

These are the words of a frontier man

Who lost his love when he turned bad.

Take a message to mary

But dont tell here where I am

Take a message to mary

But dont say Im in a jam

You can tell her that I had to see the world

Tell her that my ship set sail

You can say shed better not wait for me

But dont tell her Im in jail, oh dont tell her Im in jail.

Take a message to mary

But dont tell her what Ive done

Please, dont mention the stage coach

And the shot from a carried gun

You better tell her that I had to change my plans

And cancel out the wedding-day

But please, dont mention the lonely cell

Where Im gonna pine away, until my dying-day.

Take a message to mary

But dont tell her all you know

My heart is aching for mary

Lord know I miss her so

Just tell her that I went to timbukto

Tell her Im searching for gold

You can say she better find someone new

To cherish and to hold, oh lord, this cell is so cold.
