MiscellaneousMary Don't You Weep lyrics by Mel Tillis
Oh Mary, don't you weep for me
Oh Mary, just await for me
The war's gonna soon be over
Oh Mary, don't you weep
Jimmy sent a letter to his bride back home
For three long years he's been gone
He left her crying 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 await 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 await for me
The war's gonna 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 await 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 await for me
The war's gonna soon be over
Oh Mary, don't you weep
Oh Mary, don't you weep
Oh Mary, don't you weep
Oh, Mary don't you weep
