Oh, Miss Mary,
Where are you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss Mary,
Where are you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss Mary,
Where are you wanderin'?
Three days and Mary's comin' home

When Mary was a young girl
She took to wanderin'
Never would she leave me
And not come back again.
Swear I hear her singing,
Singing in the western wind
Three days and Mary's comin' home.

Oh, Miss Mary,
Where are you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss Mary,
Where are you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss Mary,
Where are you wanderin'?
Three days and Mary's comin' home

Mary chased a rainbow
Over the mountains
Crossed so many rivers, Lord,
That I can't count them
She wouldn't want those rainbows
Even if she found them
Three days and Mary's comin' home

Oh, Miss Mary,
Where are you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss Mary,
Where are you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss Mary,
Where are you wanderin'?
Three days and Mary's comin' home

Watchin' for my Mary,
Wish she was home again
Home from the rivers, Lord,
Home from the mountains
If I turn my back, say,
She'd just be gone again
Three days and Mary's comin' home

Oh, Miss Mary,
Where are you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss Mary,
Where are you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss Mary,
Where are you wanderin'?
Three days and Mary's comin' home (one more time!)

Oh, Miss Mary,
Where are you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss Mary,
Where are you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss Mary,
Where are you wanderin'?
Three days and Mary's comin'
(Three days and Mary's comin')
Three days and Mary's comin'
Home
