Mary Had A Secret 歌詞

We met at redhead Mary's house On a Bible study night I heard she was a rebel Once until she saw the light Then in the backseat of a crowded car After weeks of holding hands She was slipping me the tongue Among her Christian friends We could chuckle and talk for hours And then one night over the phone She went and told me her best friend's secret After she had lowered her tone It was all about forgiving and so She thought that God would want me to know Her older sisters had both moved out And her parents were divorced Her mother lived in a trailer park Not big, but she had a porch And on top of the piano Laid a cat with evil paws Her father he was a proud Nam vet I think she hardly saw We would chuckle and talk for hours And then one night over the phone She went and told me her best friend's secret After she had lowered her tone It was all about forgiving and so She thought that God would want me to know The old piano she could play so nice She had later sadly sold The money was invested in The church her husband owned She had a kid when I looked her up And another on the way And when we waved our last goodbye She said that she would pray
