When he just appeared and those two first met
I knew there'd be some trouble that we never would forget
She's just a precious thing such a fragile kind
She didn't need nobody leaving messing with her mind
Can't find Mary where'd she go
With the stranger but I don't think that she knows
Where's she headed lost somewhere
She just sits there and I don't think that she cares
When she left our world it was a sudden thing
I lost my only sister waitin' there in so much pain
And the only shame the only one disgrace
She doesn't feel the cold rain runnin' down from off her face
Can't find Mary where'd she go...
How long how long how long till she's going to come back home
How long how long how long till she's going to come back home
[ dobro - guitar ]
Can't find Mary where'd she go...
How long how long...
When's she going to come back home when's she going to come back home
Is she going to come back home
