[00:00.00]I Haven't Seen Mary In Years (Single Version|Mono) - James Monroe/Bill Monroe & The Bluegrass Boys
[00:06.79]While walkin' one day in the country
[00:11.41]I saw a gatherin' crowd
[00:16.06]And as my footsteps drew me closer
[00:20.61]I could smell the sweet fragrance of flowers
[00:25.24]It look like a family reunion
[00:29.67]Had my eyes not counted the tears
[00:34.39]And an old man sat by a graveside
[00:38.87]I haven't seen Mary in years
[00:43.92]Hold my hand and lead me
[00:48.44]Lead me away from here
[00:52.74]I just brought these flowers for Mary
[00:57.23]I haven't seen Mary in years
[01:07.86]When Mary and I were first married
[01:12.33]We had such plans for our child
[01:16.97]But for no reason I started ramblin'
[01:21.63]Like the four winds I just ran wild
[01:26.20]If I could live our life over
[01:30.71]I'd bring Mary such cheer
[01:35.31]Now she's gone where she'll never meet me
[01:39.84]I haven't seen Mary in years
[01:44.99]Hold my hand and lead me
[01:49.41]Lead me away from here
[01:53.66]I just brought these flowers for Mary
[01:58.15]I haven't seen Mary in years
[02:22.72]Then the old man left the graveyard
[02:26.85]I walked along by his side
[02:31.36]I called out his name but through all his shame
[02:35.91]His son he did not recognize
[02:40.81]Hold my hand and lead me
[02:45.19]Lead you away from here
[02:49.83]How could I know it was Mama
[02:54.10]I haven't seen Mama in years
