Sutherland Brothers and Quiver - Arms of Mary 1976
The lights shine down the valley
the wind blows up the alley
oh when I wish I was
lying in the arms of Mary
She took the pains of boyhood
and turned them into 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 gone
when I learned all she had to show
she really gave all a boy could take
So now when I get lonely
still looking for the one and only
that's when I wish I was
lying in the arms of Mary
(Instrumental)
Mary was the girl
who taught me all I had to know
she put me right on my first misktake
summer wasn't gone
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 when I wish I was
lying in the arms of Mary
lying in the arms of Mary
lying in the arms of Mary - ooh ooh oh
(Instrumental)
