THESE ARE THE WORDS OF A FRONTIER LAD, WHO LOST HIS LOVE,

d|2 - - -|2 - - -|

TAKE A MESSAGE TO MARY, BUT DON’T TELL HER WHERE I AM.

TAKE A MESSAGE TO MARY, BUT DON’T SAY I’M IN A JAM.

 YOU CAN TELL HER I HAD TO SEE THE WORLD,

 OR TELL HER THAT MY SHIP SET SAIL.

 YOU CAN SAY SHE BETTER NOT WAIT FOR ME, BUT DON’T TELL HER I’M IN JAIL.

TAKE A MESSAGE TO MARY, BUT DON’T TELL HER WHAT I’VE DONE.

PLEASE DON’T MENTION THE STAGECOACH, AND THE SHOT FROM A CARELESS GUN.

 YOU CAN TELL HER I HAD TO CHANGE MY PLANS, AND CANCEL OUT THE WEDDING DAY.

 BUT PLEASE DON’T MENTION MY LONELY CELL, WHERE I’M GONNA PINE A-WAY.

TAKE A MESSAGE TO MARY, BUT DON’T TELL HER ALL YOU KNOW.

MY HEART’S ACH-IN’ FOR MARY, LORD KNOWS I MISS HER SO.

 JUST TELL HER I WENT TO TIMBUKTU, TELL HER I’M SEARCHIN’ FOR GOLD.

 YOU CAN SAY SHE BETTER FIND SOMEONE NEW, TO CHERISH AND TO HOLD.

 OH LORD, THIS CE-LL IS COLD.

MA - RY, MA - RY, OH LORD THIS CE-LL IS CO-LD.

Have fun,
