[Intro]
A
[Chorus]
A Mary Call, Mary Call A You never stumble, you never fall A Silver stars and lilies call A For the yearning of the young one A Named Mary Call A She's the treasure of the mountains A And the dearest one of all
[Verse 1]
A Papa's gone and mama too A This life has been quite cruel to you A But spirit took you from the start A It made you brave and it gave you heart A Brothers and sisters by your side A You worked so hard that the earth took pride A It gave you sage, wild thyme and rue A To earn your keep, to pull you through
[Chorus]
A Mary Call, Mary Call A You stand so straight and you stand so tall A Winds will sweep and rivers fall A For the yearning of the young one A Named Mary Call A She's the treasure of the mountains A And the dearest one of all
[Interlude]
A
[Verse 2]
A When you finally met despair A A kindly man came to your care A He held you in his arms and said A Just dry your eyes and rest your head
[Out-Chorus]
A Mary Call, Mary Call A You never stumble, you never fall A Silver stars and lilies call A For the yearning of the young one A Named Mary Call A She's the treasure of the mountains A And the dearest one of all A Mary Call, Mary Call A You stand so straight and you stand so tall A Winds will sweep and rivers fall A For the yearning of the young one A Named Mary Call A She's the treasure of the mountains A And the dearest one of all
