Word Or Two To Mary — текст песни (Charley Pride)

A word or two to Mary please write a letter for me
That`s what my buddy said to me today
I couldn`t keep from crying sad eyes`re looking at me
He said I`ll tell you what I wanted to say
Oh I don`t mind dyin` I just hate to leave you alone
And I wish that I could watch the children grow
But there`s no use denyin` I won`t be coming back home
Just a word or two to you before I go

Down on my knees beside him I begged my buddy to live
I told the Lord to please take me instead
But a word or two to Mary was all my buddy could give
And just these words were all your husband said
Oh I don`t mind dyin`...
[ steel ]
A word or two to Mary I must have some of my own
He was the truest friend I ever had
I`ll keep writing letters to her help the children along
Tell them in a way that it`s from their dad
He didn`t mind dyin` he just hated to leave you alone
And he wished that he could see his children grow
I`ll be standing by `em as I know he`d want me to
And write a word or two to Mary as they grow
And write a word or two to Mary as they grow
