Mary Would Have Wanted It That Way Recorded by Cal Smith Written by Arthur Leo Owens
C Am F C The fever took my Mary on the eighth of January Dm G7 C So I laid her to rest in Santa Fe Am F C I planned to sell her rings to pay for everything Dm G7 Mary would have wanted it that way
C Am F C And I made little Johnny a bed in our old Chevy Dm G7 C And told him everything would be ok C7 F C I told him that mommy had gone to live with Jesus Dm G7 C Cause Mary would have wanted it that way
F C When Johnny fell asleep I struck out for Tennessee Dm G7 C At times I'd cry so hard I couldn't drive C7 F C But God found me traveling down a lonely Texas highway Dm F C Trying to smile for Johnny with Mary on my mind
Am F C When we got to Texarkana my pockets needed money Dm G7 C So I sold Mary's old blue Chevrolet Am F C It was hard to sell the car she worked so hard to pay for Dm G7 But I knew that she’d have done the same
C Am F C And we caught a smoking greyhound to take us on to Nashville Dm G7 C And the humming of the wheels sang us to sleep C7 F C We woke up in Little Rock at a cafe at a truck stop Dm G7 C Thankful that we had enough to eat
Am F C The bus drove down to Jackson and we had to spend the night Dm G7 C And that's where he taught his daddy how to pray Am F C We prayed for his mother then we prayed for one another Dm G7 Mary always wanted me to pray
C F C Now all that's left of Mary is her memory and a baby Dm G7 C But that's a lot for a Santa Fe DJ C7 F C It's enough to make me wanna live and die for little Johnny Dm G7 C And Mary would have wanted it that way
