Sweet Sister Mary Lyrics - John Mcdermott

Sweet sister mary what is this I hear 

I hear that you're planning on leaving from here 

And I fear that it's true there's a great empty space 

Faces are crying all over the place 

Stay mary stay 

Tears and the rain and the dew occupy 

The valley sweet mary where you say goodbye 

Now while under the rain I was told by a fish 

Sweet mary your plan to allow me one wish 

Stay mary stay 

The sun never shines o'er this valley 

The mountains are crying all day 

The trees never change from the autumn 

Since mary said mary can't stay away, away, away 

Sweet sister mary the church closed the doors 

The men's brooms are sweeping the tears from the floors 

And I know you'll be missed but I think we'll survive 

Mary sweet mary may I say good-bye 

Bye mary bye 

Bye mary bye 

Bye mary bye
