Malcolm Holcombe - Love Abides lyrics

I was born in the southern hills A ways from town I was raised to love only one to call my wife To sleep beside at night And wake up right by her side Oh Mary, love abides Oh Mary, love abides I grew up in that ol' city Ways were different A lonesome fills my every night Emptiness by my side Oh Mary, love abides Oh Mary, love abides I will die turn into dust A ways from town My past is old and black as Gunga Din Her mem'ry's sweet and young as Magdelene Oh Mary, love abides Oh Mary, love abides (Repeat Chorus)
