Lyrics
I'm always light and kind-hearted
Not a care in this world have I
Well I know that I'm loved by Daisy
I could not forget if I tried
Now she sleeps in the little town of Mary Etter
Where the little birds sing in the trees
Her little grave is all covered in ivy
While loved ones are waiting for me
There's a little grave down in Georgia
There one week walked away
Where little Mary lies sleeping
Well her soul is with the angels today
Little Mary was just fourteen
She was pretty as a queen
Her hair was dark and curly
Not a sweeter child ever was seen
That day that she left her mother
That day I never can forget
That day that she left for the Caroline
Well imagine that I see her 'til yet
Little Mary is in heaven
She is there on the golden shore
We all praise God to meet her
Where there be no brutal murder no more
