Mary, as you leave, put the latch upon the door
Take those empty bottles that are lying on the floor
'Cause the smell of ruby wine makes me sad
Makes me think of all the good times that I've had
Mary, when you go, leave as quietly as you can
'Cause the neighbors like to talk to me
Though they don't know who I am
Yet the things I've heard them whisper make me laugh
Mary, wave to me as you walk on down the path
Yes, Mary is the name I can't remember all the time
Forgive me if it's not your name and blame it on the wine
'Cause Mary left about a year ago and it seems an eternity
Oh, Mary, what a wreck you've made of me
I can't go out, so lock me in, my lifeline is the phone
Sometimes it rings, I'm too far gone
I'm lying drunk upon the floor
'Cause Mary's coming, Mary's gone, remember I spent my time
'Cause it's getting late, my body won't
Wait to have another drink of wine
Oh yeah, oh no, ooh
Yes, Mary is the name I can't remember all the time
Forgive me if it's not your name and blame it on the wine
'Cause Mary left about a year ago and it seems an eternity
Oh, Mary, what a wreck you've made of me
Yeah yeah, Mary, what a wreck you've made of me
Oh, Mary, what a wreck you've made of me
Come on, Mary, don't you know what a wreck
What a wreck you've made of me
