The lights shine down in the valley,
The wind blows up the alley.
Oh, how I wish I was
Lying in the arms of Mary.
She took the pains of boyhood
And turned them into feelgood.
Oh, how I wish I was
Lying in the arms of Mary.
Chorus:
Mary was the girl
Who taught me
All I had to know
She put me right
On my first mistake
Summer wasn't gone
When I'd learned
All she had to show.
She really gave all
A boy could take.
So now when I feel lonely,
Still looking for the one and only.
That's when I wish I was
Back in the arms of Mary.
Repeat Chorus:
