For the sake of Mary I kicked the reds Junked the juice, drink coffee instead Straightened my teeth, bent my back Cut my friends dead from the old rat pack For Mary She bought me this silk suit, watch and chain She put the rhythm in my stride again She showed me the way to make her feel good If I could do more then I surely would For Mary For Mary For the sake of Mary I do what I can She still don't trust me to be her man I say the right thing but my timing's bad She thinks I'm like the rest, but I'm the best she's ever had For the sake of Mary I was cook first class on the Belfast be But when she sailed she sailed without me In Needle Pete's got my last tattoo In bleeding letters of red and blue For Mary For the sake of Mary I changed my drift Got a good job on the graveyard shift She set her heart on a pretty little place I want to see the tears of joy on her face For Mary For the sake of Mary I keep the flame I don't want to be the villain again She's had her bad times and it's shook her about I don't want to take the easy way out For the sake of Mary
