A Word Or Two To Mary
Recorded by Charley Pride
written by Vance Bulla and Peter Cotton

C                            F                  C
A word or two to Mary please write a letter for me
                                  G7
That's what my buddy said to me today
  C                             F                   C
I couldn't keep from crying sad eyes are looking at me
                      G7               C
He said I'll tell you what I wanted to say

                             F                 C
Oh I don't mind dying I just hate to leave you alone
                                           G7
And I wish that I could watch the children grow
    C                        F                    C
But there's no use denying I won't be coming back home
                      G7           C
Just a word or two to you before I go

                              F                  C
Down on my knees beside him I begged my buddy to live
                                    G7
I told the Lord to please take me instead
      C                       F                  C
But a word or two to Mary was all my buddy could give
                          G7               C
And just these words were all your husband said

                        F                   C
A word or two to Mary I must add some of my own
                                G7
He was the truest friend I ever had
     C                               F                 C
I'll keep writing letters to her and help the children along
               G7                       C
Tell them in a way that it's from their dad

                             F                  C
He didn't mind dying he just hated to leave you alone
                                             G7
And he wished that he could see his children grow
     C                        F                 C
I'll be standing by them as I know he'd want me to
                           G7           C
And write a word or two to Mary as they grow   

                           G7           C
And write a word or two to Mary as they grow
