🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
These are the words of a frontier ladWho lost his love when he turned badTake a message to Mary but don’t tell her where I amTake a message to Mary but don’t say I’m in a jamYou can tell her I had to see the world or tell her that my ship set sailYou can say she’d better not wait for me but don’t tell her I’m in jailOh, don’t tell her I’m in jailTake a message to Mary but don’t tell her what I’ve donePlease don’t mention the stagecoach and the shot from a careless gunYou can tell her I had to change my plans and cancel out the wedding dayBut please don’t mention my lonely cell where I’m gonna pine awayUntil my dying dayTake a message to Mary but don’t tell her all you knowMy heart’s achin’ for Mary, Lord knows I miss her soJust tell her I went to Timbuktu, tell her I’m searchin’ for goldYou can say she’d better find someone new to cherish and to holdOh, Lord, this cell is coldMary, MaryOh, Lord this cell is cold
