Marty Gray Lyrics - Jean Shepard

Big Jimmy Baker and Marty Gray met at a teenage party 

Jimmy took Marty to school the next day both of them were tardy 

Sittin' in the parking lot talking over things waitin' for the morning bell to ring 

Two little love birds loose on wing Jimmy Baker and Marty 

Kids in love now what can you do but listen to the cooing 

Pretty little blonde haired Marty Gray does your mama know what you're doing 

Bet your mama don't know what you're doing 

[ ac.guitar ] 

Big Jimmy Baker's on the football team Marty's wearin' his sweater 

Listen to them talking in the locker room man he's a real go getter 

Telling Marty about the facts of life says there'll never be no other 

Someday she's gonna be his wife he learned that line from his brother 

Kids in love now what can you do... 

[ harmonica ] 

Down at the drive-in Friday night didn't come to see the movie 

Parked in back away from the light Jimmy says isn't this groovy 

Under the seat a bottle in a bag made to affect the senses 

Poured out a drink for Marty Gray broke down her defense 

Kids in love now what can you do... 

[ ac.guitar ] 

Big Jimmy Baker and Marty Gray no longer goin' together 

Fire of love burned out they say Marty feelin' under the weather 

Town turns out to have a big day the football hero's goin' away 

But Marty's got the price to pay and Jimmy's gonna let her 

Kids in love now what can you do... 

Bet your mama don't know what you're doing
