Arms Of Mary Lyrics - The Sutherland Brothers

The lights shine down the valley 

The wind blows up the alley, Oh -- 

well I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary. 

She took the pains of boyhood, 

and turned them in to feel good, Oh -- 

how I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary - 

Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know -- 

she put me right on my first mistake -- 

Summer wasn't good when I learned all she had to show -- 

she really gave all a boy could take --- Oh -- 

So now when I get lonely, 

still looking for the one and only, 

That's when I wish was lying in the arms of Mary. 

INSTRUMENTAL (same as part asterisked above) 

Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know -- 

she put me right on my first mistake -- 

Summer wasn't good when I learned all she had to show -- 

she really gave all a boy could take ---- ---- 

The lights shine down the valley, 

The wind blows up the alley Oh -- 

well I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary. 

Lying in the arms of Mary, Lying in the arms of Mary, 

Lying in the arms of Mary.
