David Allan Coe — Mary Go Round About the Birth of Jesus

She suffered more than her share of hard times I know And the baby inside her is just now beginning to show And she realizes life’s cold surprises has left her with one place to go Her summer is fading, she’s patiently waiting for snow Mary go, Mary go round and round The trumpets are blowing, can’t you hear the sound There’s a star in the east and it shines on the ground Mary go, Mary go, Mary go round She feels unwanted, it shows in the pain of her eyes Nobody hears her at night when she lays down and crys He says he loves her and in his own way, Lord, he tries She says the baby’s not his but some say she lies Mary go, Mary go round and round The trumpets are blowing, can’t you hear the sound There’s a star in the east and it shines on the ground Mary go, Mary go, Mary go round Mmm, Mmm, Mmm In the nighttime I’ve been thinking about you, my sweet Angeline
