A Word Or Two To Mary lyrics

A word or two to Mary, please write a letter for me
That s what my buddy said to me today
I couldn t keep from cryin , sad eyes are looking at me
He said, I ll tell you what I wanted to say

Oh, I don t mind dyin , I just hate to leave you alone
And I wish that I could watch the children grow
But there s no use denyin , I won t be commin home
Just a word or two to you before I go

Down on my knees beside him, I begged my buddy to live
I told the Lord to please take me instead
But a word or two to Mary was all my buddy could give
And just these words were all your husband said

Oh, I don t mind dyin , I just hate to leave you alone
And I wish that I could watch the children grow
But there s no use denyin , I won t be comming back home
Just a word or two to you before I go

A word or two to Mary, I must add some of my own
He was the truest friend I ever had
I ll keep writing letters to her to help the children along
Tell them in a way that it s from their Dad

He didn t mind dyin , he just hated to leave you alone
And he wished that he could see his children grow
I ll be standing by them as I know he d want me to
And write a word or two to Mary as they grow
And write a word or two to Mary as they grow
