I saved up my money to
Buy my sweetheart some flowers
For Saturday's date and
I restlessly counted the hours

Then today in the mail
I received this short little note
And I broke down inside at the
Message that her mother wrote

CHORUS]
Mary Ann regrets
She's unable to see you again
We're leaving for Europe next week
She'll be busy till then
They know that she loves me
But poor boys don't fit in their plan
Goodbye to love
Goodbye, my sweet Mary Ann

The weeks have gone by
Not a word have I heard since then
In the papers I read of
The far away places she's been

I can't eat, I can't sleep
For over and over again
My mind reads that letter
And I cry for my Mary Ann

[repeat CHORUS]

My Mary Ann died
Tis said she just wasted away
If I could have seen her
I know she'd be living today

For we loved each other
And if they'd have left us alone
Today she'd be wearing my ring
Not a blanket of stone

[repeat CHORUS]
