A Word or Two to Mary - Lefty Frizzell[00:00:00]
Written by:Vance Bulla/Peter Cotton[00:00:01]
A word or two to Mary please write a letter for me[00:00:09]
That's what my buddy said to me today[00:00:16]
I couldn't keep from crying sad eyes are looking at me[00:00:24]
He said I'll tell you what I wanted to say[00:00:31]
Oh I don't mind dying I just hate to leave you alone[00:00:39]
And I wish that I could watch the children grow[00:00:46]
But there's no use denying I won't be coming back home[00:00:54]
Just a word or two to you before I go[00:01:02]
Down on my knees beside him I begged my buddy to live[00:01:09]
I told the Lord to please take me instead[00:01:17]
But a word or two to Mary was all my buddy could give[00:01:25]
And just these words were all your husband said[00:01:32]
A word or two to Mary I must add some of my own[00:01:40]
He was the truest friend I ever had[00:01:47]
I'll keep writing letters to her and help the children along[00:01:55]
Tell them in a way that it's from their dad[00:02:03]
He didn't mind dying he just hated to leave you alone[00:02:10]
And he wished that he could see his children grow[00:02:18]
I'll be standing by them as I know he'd want me to[00:02:26]
And write a word or two to Mary as they grow[00:02:33]
