Equalizer - Sweet Mary lyrics

It was the year of our father 1900 and 76 in J.A When i first met my mary quite contrary to what my mother did say She was a mountain girl come to spanish town I was only there for a while But when i think back on all the love we shared I just can't but help to smile We spent one whole long year together And at the end i had to go By my mary's side i wept and cried i'd never been layed so low She said "boy when you first met me You were as green as a mango tree ooo But now you are a man go back to your land But first listen carefully Cause you can smoke two pounds of cali herb by yourself Then try to stand on your head No matter how high you get You'll never forget the wonders of mary's bed" Now my mary's sweet smell was in my nose and vision It robbed me blind And as i crossed the sea it occured to me That i'd left myself behind She was my natural mystic sweet sugar plum I still ask why did i go They say your first love's your hardest love And i'd have to say that's so And its a day and another day and a way and another way Had a family once but they're gone And it dont strike me as weird theres grey in my beard But the words still linger on And you can smoke two pounds of cali herb by yourself Then try to stand on your head No matter how high you get You'll never forget the wonders of mary's bed Now theres nothing for me left here 'cept some broken dreams Dissapointments, i've had a few And there's this place i know where the mangos grow And theres just one thing left to do I'll go back to my mary's bed Plant a kiss on her head and pretend that time just stood still And i can live out my life like it should have been And the rest will be what it will So i went back to the bar where we first met Asked the bartender where could she be And as he poured me a beer he said last year She left this world peacefully And every man in the bar looked at me And they said old man dont you see That we were all touched by mary just like you Now she lives on in our memories And we all can smoke two pounds of cali herb by ourselves Then try to stand on our heads No matter how high we get We'll never forget the wonders of mary's bed And we can run 200 miles through a ganja feild Until all we see is red and we can shout it out We're still thinking about the wonders of mary's bed And so we sing jump around sweet mary You know we all have to move along You never know what you've got in this cruel world Until you realize its gone
