[F] [C] [F]
While walking one day in the country [Bb] I saw a [F] gathering crowd
[Bb] And as my footsteps drew [F] me closer I could smell the sweet [C] fragrance of flowers
[F] It looked like a family reunion [Bb] Had my eyes not [F] counted a ten
[Bb] And an old man said [F] by a brave sigh I haven't [C] seen [F] Mary in years
[Bb] Hold my [F] hand and lead me [Bb] Lead me away [F] from here
[Bb] I just brought these [F] flowers for Mary I haven't [C] seen [F] Mary in years
When Mary and I were first married [Bb] We had such plans [F] for our child
[Bb] But for no reason I [F] started rambling Like the four winds I just [C] ran wild
[F] If I could live my life over [Bb] I'd bring Mary [F] such cheer
Now [Bb] she's gone where she'll never [F] meet me I haven't seen Mary in years
[Bb] Hold my hand [F] and lead me [Bb] Lead me away [F] from here
[Bb] I just brought these flowers [F] for Mary I [C] haven't seen Mary [F] in years
[Bb]
[F] [Bb]
[F] [C]
[F]
Then the old man left the graveyard [Bb] I walked along [F] by his side
[Bb] I called out his name [F] but through all his shame His son he did [C] not [F] recognize
[Bb]
Hold my hand [F] and lead me [Bb] Lead me away [F] from here
[Bb] How could I know it [F] was Mama I haven't seen [C] Mama in [B] [F] years
