Intro:
E These are the words of a frontier lad G#m B7 E Who lost his love when he turned bad
Verse 1:
E Take a message to Mary B7 But don't tell her where I am E Take a message to Mary B7 But don't say I'm in a jam C#m G#m You can tell her I had to see the world C#m F# B7 Or tell her that my ship set sail E G#m A E You can say she better not wait for me C#m But don't tell her I'm in jail E B7 E Oh, don't tell her I'm in jail
Verse 2:
Take a message to Mary
But don't tell her what I've done
Please don't mention the stagecoach
And the shot from a careless gun
You can tell her I had to change my plans
And cancel out the wedding day
But please don't mention my lonely cell
Where I'm gonna pine away
Until my dying day
Verse 3:
Take a message to Mary
But don't tell her all you know
My heart's achin' for Mary
Lord knows I miss her so
Just tell her I went to Timbuktu
Tell her I'm searchin' for gold
You can say she better find someone new
To cherish and to hold
Oh, Lord, this cell is cold
Coda:
E C#m
Mary, Ma-A-A-A-ary
E B7 E Oh, Lord this cell is cold
