“Mary, Mary (live)”

Mary, Mary, where you going to?
Mary, Mary, can I go too?
This one thing I will vow ya
Rather die than to live without ya
Mary, Mary, where you going to? (Oh! Hey! Woo!)

Mary, Mary, tell me truly
What did I do to make you leave me?
Whatever it was, I didn’t mean to
You know I never would try and hurt ya
Mary, Mary, where you going to? (Oh! Hey! Whoa!)

What more Mary can I do
To prove my love is truly yours?
I’ve done more now than a clear-thinking man would do

Mary, Mary, it’s not over
Where you go, I will follow
Until I win your love again
And walk beside you, but until then
Mary, Mary, where you going to? (Hup! Yeah!) (Hoo. Hey! Wow!) (Ohh!)
