Mary Call Lyrics - Joan Baez

Mary Call, Mary Call 

You never stumble, you never fall 

Silver stars and lilies call 

For the yearning of the young one 

Named Mary Call 

She's the treasure of the mountains 

And the dearest one of all. 

Papa's gone and mama too 

This life has been quite cruel to you 

But spirit took you from the start 

It made you brave and it gave you heart 

Brothers and sisters by your side 

You worked so hard that the earth took pride 

It gave you sage, wild thyme and rue 

To earn your keep, to pull you through.

Mary Call, Mary Call 

You stand so straight and you stand so tall 

Winds will sweep and rivers fall 

For the yearning of the young one 

Named Mary Call 

She's the treasure of the mountains 

And the dearest one of all.

When you finally met despair 

A kindly man came to your care 

He held you in his arms and said 

Just dry your eyes and rest your head 

Too tired to argue or protest 

You realized you'd done your best 

There'll be a place for you somewhere 

To tie bright ribbons through your hair.
