Now Mary Fields was born a slave

and orphaned to a nun.
C 
She took to drinking, smoked cigars,
F 
G 
C 
always packed a gun.
But she loved that nunnery,

and the nuns, they did love her.
C 
They gave her money, nothing funny,
F 
G 
just wanted to be sure
C 
that she would find her way.
F 
G 
So she opened a cafe,
C 
but the cafe didn't last
F

because Mary gave everything away.
She was just too nice.

C 
to have a mail delivery gig.
