Mary Don't You Weep Lyrics - Stonewall Jackson

Oh Mary, don't you weep for me 

Oh Mary, just you wait for me 

The battle will soon be over 

Oh Mary, don't you weep 

Jimmy sent a letter to his bride back home 

For three long years now he's been gone 

He left her cryin' on her wedding day 

And went to fight the battle of the Blue and Gray 

Oh Mary, don't you weep for me 

Oh Mary, just you wait for me 

The war's gonna soon be over 

Oh Mary, don't you weep 

Mary's young heart was filled with joy 

When she got the letter from her soldier boy 

His words of love made her heart beat fast 

But little did she know it would be the last 

Oh Mary, don't you weep for me 

Oh Mary, just you wait for me 

The battle will soon be over 

Oh Mary, don't you weep 

On that same day, Atlanta burned down 

Her soldier boy, he fell to the ground 

Now Mary sits alone by the candle light 

And reads his letter over every night 

Oh Mary, don't you weep for me 

Oh Mary, just you wait for me 

The war's gonna soon be over 

Oh Mary, don't you weep 

Oh Mary, don't you weep for me 

Oh Mary, just you wait for me 

The battle's gonna soon be over 

Oh Mary, don't you weep 

Oh Mary, don't you weep 

Oh Mary, don't you weep
