Mary Jo

Mary Jo Lyrics

Mary jo, sitting aloneDrinking tea, she just got homeShe wants, I don’t know what you wantMary jo, living aloneDrinking gin with the telly onShe wantsThe night to follow day and back againShe doesn’t want to sleepWell who could blame her if she wants? The night to follow day and back againShe doesn’t want to sleepWell who could blame her, if she sleeps? Well who could blame her, if she sleeps? Well who could blame her, if she’s sleeping? Mary jo, back with yourselfFor company, keep telling yourself you’re youngIt’ll happen soonMary jo, no one can seeWhat you’ve been throughNow you’ve got love to burnIt’s someone else’s turn to go through hellNow you can see them come from twenty yardsYeah you can tellIt’s someone else’s turn to take a fallAnd now you are the one who’s strong enough to help themThe one who’s strong enough to help themThe one who’s strong enough to help them allMary jo, you’re looking thinYou’re reading a book, the state I am inBut oh, it doesn’t help at allWhat you want is a cigaretteAnd a thespian with a caravanette in hullBecause life is never dull in your dreamsA pity that it never seems to work the way you see itLife is never dull in your dreamsA sorry tale of action and the men you left forWomen, and the men you left forIntrigue, and the men you left for dead
