Mary Anne O'Toole
I had me a good woman for whom I'd walk to hell and back But I couldn't tame her and I knew that But try and tell your heart something and it won't listen to you That's how I fell in love with Mary-Anne O'Toole
I told her I'd be a good man and I'd settle down I traded whiskey and women for a job in town Little did I know that Mary had another man And that woman was driving wooden stakes through my hand's
I denied it strongly and said our love was true But she'd go out drinking the whole night through And when I'd ask her, Mary where have you been It would only drive her out the front door again
One night I walked into the barroom and my heart it did burn Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I'd given all I could give and got pain in return Mary was sitting on a barstool with a man named Sam McPhee And as I headed for the door I could hear they were laughing at me
I spent all the money I had on a fast train to ride I packed all my thing's for to leave that night I'm a-leaving Mary I'm a-leaving my home Praying she be there at the station crying, baby please don't go
But as the train started moving it began to rain I looked out my window but Mary never came The only thing I know now I learned from Mary-Anne O'Toole Don't try and hold onto something you can't bear to loose
