[Em] [A] [D]
The time has come to tell you of the tale of Mary Drew, who buried 16 [A] husbands by the age of 22.
Some say that she's a [Bm] monster, the [A] evil [G] widowed bride, [D] but you'll find [G] there's more to it [Em] when you hear how [D] they all died.
[Bm]
[D] At 16 she met Charles, it was love at first sight.
They married Sunday morning [A] and they buried him that night.
They all thought it [B] tragic, [A] but none thought it [G] foul [D] play, [G] until six months [Em] later on her [D] second wedding day.
[Bm] There [G] was Charles [Em] and Barry, [D] and Nick and Mark and John, Michael [Em] and Terry, [D] Henry, Sam and Ron.
[G] There was Billy and Willie, [B] and Matthew [G] and Fred.
[Em] There was a James [A] and a [D] Brian, and now they're all dead.
[D] Barry was a strapping lad, as strong as any ox, but after just two days with her [A] he wound up in a box.
The police they were [Bm] alerted and just [A] had to [G] come around, [D] but a [G] poor sad widow [Em] was all the [D] coppers found.
[B] [D] They looked for clues each time, but never found a trace.
Each husband was found naked [A] with a smile on his face.
They put their clues [B] together, [A] an answer came [G] to [D] light.
None of these men [G] could handle [Em] one of Mary's [D] wedding nights.
[Bm] There [G] was Charles [Em] and Barry, [D] and Nick and Mark and John, [G] Michael [Em] and Terry, [D] Henry, Sam and Ron.
[G] There was Billy [Em] and Willie, [A] and [G] Matthew and Fred.
[Em] There was a James [A] and a [D] Brian, and now they're all dead.
[B] [D] Now Michael was what some of you might call a ladies man.
Said Mary just need [A] taming and I have the perfect plan.
Well they heard him beg for [Bm] mercy and then [A] beg her [G] not to [D] stop.
So [G] unless his plan was [E] suicide I [A] guess it [D] was a flop.
[E] [D] You'd see Mary she was packing some extraordinary heat, and only the [E] bravest would slip [A] between her sheets.
Sixteen men went to [G] heaven [A] right before [G] each [D] died, but she was [G] always happy to [Em]
[A] become a [D] new man's bride.
[Bm] There [G] was Charles [Em] and Barry, [D] and Nick and Mark and John, [G] Michael [Em] and Terry, [D] Henry, Sam and Ron.
[G] There was Billy [Em] and Willie, [B] and [G] Matthew and Fred.
[Em] There was a James [A] and a Brian, [D] and now they're all dead.
[Abm] [D] Willie was a clockmaker as punctual as could be, and so they were [A] married at precisely ten past three.
When he went to the bedroom [Bm] he knew [A] he was [G] tempting fate.
[D] Next morning [G] for the [Em] first time that poor Willie [D] he was late.
[Abm] [D] Matthew was a blacksmith and a bitter angry man.
His neighbors they suggested [A] that he ask for Mary's hand.
When they put him down to rest [Bm] he [A] was [G] grinning ear to [D] ear, and the neighbors [G] all let [Em] loose with a very [D] tasteful cheer.
[Bm] There [G] was Charles [Em] and Barry, [D] and Nick and Mark and John, [G] Michael [Em] and Terry, [D] Henry, Sam and Ron.
[G] There was Billy [Em] and Willie, [D] and [G] Matthew and Fred.
[Em] There was a James [A] and a Brian, [D] and now they're all dead.
Well I had to know, though I don't mean to be obscene, and she agreed that I would be [A] her number seventeen.
So we were married Sunday, [Bm] I was [A] ready [G] for the thrill, [D] and they buried [G] her on Monday [Em] by the [A] tree up [D] on the hill.
[E] There [G] was Charles [Em] and [D] Barry, and Nick and Mark and John, [G] [Em] Michael and [D] Terry, Henry, Sam and Ron.
