C F C
A word or two to Mary, please write a letter for me,
G7 C
That's what my buddy said to me to--day
F C
I couldn't keep from cryin', sad eyes are lookin' at me,
G7 C
He said I'll tell you what I wanted to say.
[Chorus]
F C
Oh, I don't mind dyin', I just hate to leave you alone,
G7
And I wish that I could watch the children grow
C F C
But there's no use denyin' I won't be comin' back home,
G7 C
Just a word or two to you before I go.
F C
Down on my knees beside him I begged my buddy to live,
G7 C
I told the Lord to please take me in--stead
F C
But a word or two to Mary was all my buddy could give,
G7 C
And just these words were all your husband said.
[Chorus]
F C
A word or two to Mary, I must add some of my own,
G7 C
He was the truest friend I ever had
F C
I'll keep writing letters to her, help the children along,
G7 C
Tell them in a way that it's from their Dad.
F C
He didn't mind dyin'. he just hated to leave you alone,
G7 C
And he wished that he could see his children grow
F C
I'll be standing by them, as I know he'd want me to,
G7 C
And write a word or two to Mary as they grow.
G7 C
And write a word or two to Mary as they grow.
