Sweet Mary (Album Version)

Where are you now
That my sweet Mary done died
Alone, alone, alone
Somewhere you say
Where my sweet Mary held her grave
In her arms like an infant's
All to see

You can hush my little darling
Don't you cry
Hush beneath the dream
We did wrong
'Cause I do believe
It will be just like the color
When the purple sings
When I will know for sure

She was held to the blade
Laid down my sweet Mary dear
She laid down upon the cold winter's floor
And I remember what she said
When she saw the snow turn to red
She said lord let me be the lord
Let me be the lord

You can hush my little darling
Don't you cry
Hush beneath the dream
We did wrong
'Cause I do believe
It will be just like the color
When the purple sings
When I will know for sure
When this angel will cover us
