Take a Message to Mary Bob Dylan
These are the words of a [Em]frontier lad
Who [Am]lost his love when [G]he turned bad.
C . G . |F . C . |Am . . . |. . . . |C . G . |C . . .
[C] Take a message to Mary
But [F]don't tell her [G]where I [C]am
Take a message to Mary
But [F]don't say I'm [G]in a jam[C].
You can [Am]tell her that I had to [Em]see the world
[Am]Tell her that my [D]ship set [G]sail
You can [C]say she'd [G]better not [F]wait for [C]me
But [Am]don't tell her I'm [/G]in [Am]jail
Oh [C]don't tell her [G]I'm in [C]jail.
Take a message to Mary
But don't tell her what I've done
Please don't mention the stagecoach
An' the shot from a careless gun.
You can tell her that I changed my plans
An' cancel out the weddin' day
But don't mention my lonely cell
Where I'm gonna pine away
Until my dyin' day.
Take a message to Mary
But don't tell all you know
My heart is achin' for Mary
Lord knows I miss her so.
Just tell her that I went to Timbuktu
Tell that I'm searchin' for gold
You can say she'd better find someone new
To cherish an' to hold
Oh Lord, this cell is cold.
