|
She stands at the window |
|
Proud Mary, bad news |
|
Demands from the credit |
|
And the sheriff's men too |
|
The wife of a fishermen no longer at sea |
|
She can always find him where whisky flows free |
|
She never called it poverty, the doorstep was clean |
|
Till city hall came calling to show what it means |
|
Have you seen it before |
|
The names of good women and men |
|
Decreed by the sword and the pen |
|
To be outlaws all over again. |
|
The names in the churchyard are long overgrown |
|
Still she came kneeling with flowers of her own |
|
They're watching you, Mary, in hard times afraid |
|
As counsel finds guilty for charges unpaid |
|
And even as the last hope is labelled and sold |
|
We're all for one, Mary, outlawed for gold. |
|
Have you seen it before? |
|
The names of good women and men |
|
Decreed by the sword and the pen |
|
To be outlaws all over again |
|
And even as your last hope is labeled and sown |
|
We're all the one, Mary, outlawed for good |
|
Have you seen it before? |
|
The names of good women and men |
|
Decreed by the sword and the pen |
|
To be outlaws all over again |
