Artist: Mel Tillis Album: Greatest Hits
Lyrics
While walking one day in the country I saw a gathering crowd And as my footsteps threw me closer I smell a sweet fragrance of flowers That looked like a family reunion and my eyes not counted the tears And the no man said by the graveside I haven't seen mary in years Hold my hand and leave me leave me away from here I just brought these flowers for mary I haven't seen mary in years
When mary and I were first married we had such plans for our child But for no reason I started rambling and like the four winds I just ran wild If I could just live my life over I would bring mary such cheers Now she's gone where she'll never need me I haven't seen mary in years Hold my hand and leave me..
Then the old man left the graveyard and I walked along by his side I called out his name but through all his shame his son he did not rocognize Hold my hand and leave me leave me away from here How could I know it was mama I haven't seen mama in years
