Well,
I met Mary at the county fair
Cut off jeans and long brown hair
The roller coaster was noth
ing compared
To Mary's sea green eyes
We bought two tickets to the carousel
Climbed up on the horses
and there we fell
Head over heels, but neither would tell
The other at the time
Oh, but you could see the signs
Watching me and Mary go round
In a great big circle, up and down
Carrying on like a couple of clowns
and the greatest show on earth
Side by side on the ride together
Both of us wishing it would last forever
Couldn't help hop ing
it was love we'd found
Watching me and Mary
go round
Two years later in the following spring
I gave Mary a diamond ring
The look on her face was the happiest thing
I think I've ever seen
Her mama and her daddy
and my folks too
Along with everybody any
one of us knew
Gathered around while we said adieu
And though it's been a while
It still makes my heart smile
Watching me an d Mary go round
in a great big circle
Up and down
Carrying on like a couple of clowns
in the greatest show on earth
Side by side on a ride together,
both of us knowing it'll last forever
It's easy to see the love
we've found
Watching me and Mary go round
Every day there's new sur
prises
Now we fill up the seats of a wagoneer
When the family goes to the county fair
Still a lot of magic in the summer air
By that old carousel
We put Jack on the line
and Jill on the goose
Tighten up the belts so they
don't slip loose
It's the calliope plays and
it's Deja Vu
Coming over me
You see, just a little bit differently
I'm watching he an d Mary go round
In a great big circle, up and down
Carrying on like a couple of clowns
In the greatest show on earth
Side by side on a ride together
Both of us wishing it would last forever
It's easy to see the love
we've found
Watchin' me and Mary
go round
Still watchin' me an d
Mary go round
Just watchin' me and Mary
go round
You
