Virgin Mary (german Edition Track) Lyrics - Summer Donna

Look at the lady with the crazy stare in her eyes 

looks way past 50 though she's barely 35 

sleeps most days in the city park 

every night down at Casey's bar 

and if she talks at all you hear her say 

"I was a lovely girl in my younger days" 

She was the prettiest girl this town had ever seen 

but she dressed too gaudy for the likes of the people here 

out every night living life to the full 

a string of men at her beck and call 

but smalltown people got smalltown ways 

and soon she was stuck with a brandnew name 

Hey Virgin Mary 

Lover of lovers 

How many others 

Your bed is never empty 

it must bring you plenty 

Oh that fateful night there was thunder in the air 

the women were angry and the men felt like a share 

a lynch mob frenzy came over the town 

grabbed hold of Mary, threw her down to the ground 

the first man there that had Mary laid 

staggered back with shock on his face 

Hey Virgin Mary 

Be true to your name 

we've put you to shame 

you're not what we thought 

the victim of talk! 

Hey Virgin Mary 

rumour was your ruin 

evil talk was your undoing 

heavy on the conscience 

jealous talk and nonsense 

you were really like your name 

and we put you to shame 

you're not really what we thought 

jealous talk and nonsense
