The Everly Brothers Miscellaneous Take A Message To Mary Take A Message To Mary Artists; The Everly Brothers (peak Billboard position # 16 in 1959) Words and Music by Boudleaux and Felice Bryant These are the words of a frontier lad Who lost his love when he turned ba-ad Take a message to Mary but don’t tell ‘er where I am Take a message to Mary but don’t say I’m in a jam You can tell her I had to see the world or tell ‘er that my ship set sail You can say she better not wait for me but don’t tell her I’m in jail Oh, don’t tell her I’m in jail Take a message to Mary but don’t tell ‘er what I’ve done Please don’t mention the stagecoach and the shot from a careless gun You can tell her I had to change my plans and cancel out the wedding day But please don’t mention my lonely cell where I’m gonna pine away Until my dying day Take a message to Mary but don’t tell ‘er all you know My heart’s achin?for Mary, Lord knows I miss her so Just tell her I went to Timbuktu, tell her I’m searchin?for gold You can say she better find someone new to cherish and to hold Oh, Lord, this cell is cold Ma-ary, Ma-a-a-a-ary Oh, Lord this cell is cold Transcribed by Ronald E.
