Sutherland Brothers Arms Of Mary
The lights shine down the valley
The wind blows up the alley, Oh --
well I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary.
She took the pains of boyhood,
and turned them in to feel good, Oh --
how I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary –
Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know --
she put me right on my first mistake --
Summer wasn't good when I learned all she had to show --
she really gave all a boy could take --- Oh --
So now when I get lonely,
still looking for the one and only,
That's when I wish was lying in the arms of Mary.

The lights shine down the valley,
The wind blows up the alley Oh --
well I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary.
Lying in the arms of Mary, Lying in the arms of Mary,
Lying in the arms of Mary.
