The lights shine
down the valley
The wind blows
up the alley
Oh, and how
I wish I was
Lying in the
arms of Mary
She took the
pains of boyhood
And turned them
into feel good
Oh, and how
I wish I was
Lying in the
arms of Mary
Mary was the girl
who taught me
all I had to know
She put me right
on my first mistake
Summer wasn't gone
when I'd learned
all she had to show
She really gave all
a boy could take
So now when
I feel lonely
Still looking for
the one and only
Oh that's when
I wish I was
lying in the
arms of Mary
Mary was the girl
who taught me
all I had to know
She put me right
on my first mistake
Summer wasn't gone
when I'd learned
all she had to show
She really gave all
a boy could take
The lights shine
down the valley
The wind blows
up the alley
Oh, and how I
wish I was
Lying in the
arms of Mary
Lying in the
arms of Mary
Lying in the
arms of Mary
Oh oh oh
