Verse 1
D
I saved up my money to buy
A
my sweetheart some flowers
For Saturday's date and I

restlessly counted the hours.
Then today in the mail I received
G
this short little note
A
And I broke down inside at the
message that her mother wrote.
D
Verse 2
Mary Ann regrets she's unable to
A
see you again;
We're leaving for Europe next week,
D
she'll be busy till then.
They know that she loves me,
G
but poor boys don't fit in their plan.
A
Good-bye true true love,
D
good-bye my my sweet Mary An_ n.
Verse 3
D
The weeks have gone by not a word
A
have I heard since then;
In the papers I read of the far
D
away places she's been.
I can't eat, I can't sleep for
G
over and over again
A
My mind reads that letter and
D
I cry for my Mary An_ n.
Verse 4
D
Mary Ann regrets she's unable
A
to see you again;
We're leaving for Europe next week,

she'll be busy till then.

boys don't fit in their plan.
A
Good-bye true true love,
good-bye my my sweet Mary Ann.
D
Verse 5
My Mary Ann died,
A
they said she just wasted away;
If I could have seen her I know
D
she'd be living today.
For we loved each other and if
G
they'd have left us alone,
A
Today she'd be wearing my ring,
D
A
D
not a blanket of stone.
