Mary Ann Regrets
recorded by Burl Ives           [3/4 time]
written by Harland Howard

 G                                               D7 
I saved up my money to buy my sweetheart some flowers
                                                  G 
For Saturday's date and I restlessly counted the hours
                                       G7             C 
Then today in the mail I received this short little note
     D7                                                   G 
And I broke down inside at the message that her mother wrote

                                          D7 
Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again
                                                         G 
We're leaving for Europe next week she'll be busy 'till then
                                                 G7             C 
They know that she loves me but poor boys don't fit in their plan
    D7                                     G 
Goodbye good luck goodbye my sweet Mary Ann

                                                      D7 
The weeks have gone by not a word have I heard since then
                                                   G 
In the papers I read of the far away places she's been
                                    G7         C 
I can't eat I can't sleep for over and over again
    D7                                             G 
My mind reads that letter and I cry for my Mary Ann

Repeat #2
                                           D7 
My Mary Ann died they say she just wasted away
                                                 G 
If I could have seen her I know she'd be living today
                                        G7        C 
For we loved each other and if they had left us alone
   D7                                              G 
Today she'd be wearing my ring not a blanket of stone

Repeat #2
