Chords
C Am
They found Mary Bellows cuffed to the bed
Dm G
With a rag in her mouth and a bullet in her head
F G C G
O poor Mary Bellows
C Am
She?d grown up hungry, she?d grown up poor
Dm G
She left her home in arkansaw
F G C G
O poor Mary Bellows
C Am
She wanted to see the deep blue sea
Dm G
She travelled across ol' Tennessee
F G C G
O poor Mary Bellows
C Am
She met a man along the way
Dm G
He introduced himself as Richard Slade
F G C G
O poor Mary Bellows
C Am
Poor Mary thought that she might die
Dm G
When she saw the ocean for the first time
F G C G
O poor Mary Bellows
C Am
She checked into a cheap little place
Dm G
Richard Slade carried her old suitcase
F G C G
O poor Mary Bellows
C Am
I?m a good girl, sir, she said to him
Dm G
I couldn?t possibly permit you in
F G C G
O poor Mary Bellows
C Am
Slade tipped his hat and winked his eye
Dm G
And turned away without goodbye
F G C G
O poor Mary Bellows
C Am
She sat on her bed and thought of home
Dm G
With the sea breeze whistling all alone
F G C G
O poor Mary Bellows
C Am
In hope and loneliness she crossed the floor
Dm G
And undid the latch on the front door
F G C G
O poor Mary Bellows
C Am
They found her the next day cuffed to the bed
Dm G
A rag in her mouth and a bullet in her head
F G C G
O poor Mary Bellows
C Am
So mothers keep your girls at home
Dm G
Don?t let them journey all alone
C Am
Tell them this world is full of danger
Dm G
And to shun the company of strangers
F G C G
O poor mary bellows
F G C G
O poor mary bellows
