[00:00.30]These are the words of a frontier lad
[00:05.69]Who lost his love when he turned ba-ad
[00:14.18]
[00:18.80]Take a message to Mary but don't tell 'er where I am
[00:25.34]
[00:26.22]Take a message to Mary but don't say I'm in a jam
[00:33.20]
[00:34.21]You can tell her I had to see the world or tell 'er that my ship set sail
[00:41.14]
[00:42.31]You can say she better not wait for me but don't tell her I'm in jail
[00:49.61]
[00:50.36]Oh, don't tell her I'm in jail
[00:53.23]
[00:55.60]Take a message to Mary but don't tell 'er what I've done
[01:01.53]
[01:02.66]Please don't mention the stagecoach and the shot from a careless gun
[01:09.58]
[01:10.27]You can tell her I had to change my plans and cancel out the wedding day
[01:17.64]
[01:18.44]But please don't mention my lonely cell where I'm gonna pine away
[01:25.38]
[01:26.37]Until my dying day
[01:29.25]
[01:31.74]Take a message to Mary but don't tell 'er all you know
[01:37.60]
[01:38.85]My heart's achin' for Mary, Lord knows I miss her so
[01:45.34]
[01:46.53]Just tell her I went to Timbuktu, tell her I'm searchin' for gold
[01:53.89]
[01:54.77]You can say she better find someone new to cherish and to hold
[02:01.50]
[02:02.75]Oh, Lord, this cell is cold
[02:05.99]
[02:07.18]Ma-ary, Ma-a-a-a-ary
[02:13.54]
[02:14.79]Oh, Lord this cell is cold
