I saved up my money to buy my sweetheart some flowers
For Saturday's date, and I restlessly counted the hours
And today in the mail I recieved a short little note
And I broke down inside the message that her mother wrote
"Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again
We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy 'til then"
They know that she loves me, but poor boys don't fit in their plans
Goodbye, true love, goodbye, my sweet Mary Ann
The weeks have gone by, not a word have I heard since then
In the papers I read of the far away places she's been
I can't eat, I can't sleep for over and over again
My mind reads that letter and I cry for my Mary Ann
"Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again
We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy 'til then"
They know that she loves me, but poor boys don't fit in their plans
Goodbye, true love, goodbye, my sweet Mary Ann
My Mary Ann died, they said she just wasted away
If I could have seen her, I know she'd be living today
For we loved each other and if they'd have left us alone
Today she'd be wearing my ring, not a blanket of stone
"Mary Ann regrets she's unable to see you again
We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy 'til then"
They know that she loves me, but poor boys don't fit in their plans
Goodbye, true love, goodbye, my sweet Mary Ann
