THESE ARE THE WORDS
OF A FRONTIER LAD
WHO LOST HIS LOVE
WHEN HE TURNED BAD
TAKE A MESSAGE
TO MARY
BUT DON'T TELL 'ER
WHERE I AM
TAKE A MESSAGE
TO MARY
BUT DON'T SAY I'M
IN A JAM
YOU CAN TELL 'ER I
HAD TO SEE THE WORLD
OR TELL 'ER
THAT MY SHIP SET SAIL
YOU CAN SAY
SHE BETTER NOT
WAIT FOR ME
BUT DON'T TELL 'ER
I'M IN JAIL
OH DON'T TELL 'ER I'M
IN JAIL
TAKE A MESSAGE
TO MARY
BUT DON'T TELL 'ER
WHAT I'VE DONE
PLEASE DON'T MENTION
THE STAGECOACH
AND THE SHOT
FROM A CARELESS GUN
YOU CAN TELL 'ER
I HAD TO CHANGE
MY PLANS
AND CANCEL OUT
THE WEDDING DAY
BUT PLEASE
DON'T MENTION
MY LONELY CELL
WHERE I'M GONNA
PINE AWAY
UNTIL MY DYING DAY
TAKE A MESSAGE
TO MARY
BUT DON'T TELL 'ER
ALL YOU KNOW
MY HEART'S ACHIN'
FOR MARY
LORD KNOWS
I MISS HER SO
JUST TELL 'ER
I WENT TO TIMBUKTU
TELL 'ER I'M SEARCHIN'
FOR GOLD
YOU CAN SAY
SHE'D BETTER FIND
SOMEONE NEW
TO CHERISH AND TO HOLD
OH LORD
THIS CELL IS COLD
MARY
MARY
OH LORD
THIS CELL IS COLD
