Sutherland Brothers & Quiver - Arms of Mary Lyrics

Sutherland Brothers & Quiver - In The Arms Of Mary

The lights shine down the valley
The wind blows up the alley, Oh --
Well I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary.

She took the pains of boyhood,
And turned them in to feel good, Oh --
How I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary -

Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know --
She put me right on my first mistake --
Summer wasn't good when I learned all she had to show --
She really gave all a boy could take --- Oh --

So now when I get lonely,
Still looking for the one and only,
That's when I wish was lying in the arms of Mary.

INSTRUMENTAL (same as part asterisked above)

Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know --
She put me right on my first mistake --
Summer wasn't good when I learned all she had to show --
She really gave all a boy could take ---- ----

The lights shine down the valley,
The wind blows up the alley Oh --
Well I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary.
Lying in the arms of Mary, Lying in the arms of Mary,
Lying in the arms of Mary.
