The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Do you want to elope tonight Getting lost in the shadows All dressed up like a switchblade knife Let's hang in love from the gallows Or we can take a walk around the lake There's a garden in the park there Under the stars next to the fireside Anywhere is better than here [Chorus] Oh Mother Mary, take my hand I'll be a saint, I'll be your man I'll do most anything, 'cause I don't care Oh Mother Mary, take my hand. Take a ride on the midnight train We'll fall asleep at the station Too much wine, driving me insane And then we'll miss our destination Oh well, too bad, who cares, it's all right. As long as we will stick together In hell we'll rain a rose of sunshine We'll watch it rise and shine forever [Chorus]
