A letra:
Sweet
Mary I've got to be leavin'
Oh, I can't let you into my
life
'Cause I know it would end in off in grieving
And the last
thing I need is a wife
When I met you I met
you for pleasure
And the good times of runnin' around
Then you
seemed to me so understanding
From the weight that's been draggin'
me down
Then the good times are
coming between us
Though you've helped me I'm burning my load
And
I've never felt more like a lover
But I'm running right off the
road
Sweet Mary I've got to
be leavin'
Oh, I can't let you into my life
'Cause I know it
would end off in grieving
And the last thing I need is a wife
Oh, it's nothing you
said or invited
And it's nothing you did that was wrong
And our
love together was Heaven
And I promised myself to be strong
Sweet Mary I've got to
be leavin'
Oh, I can't let you into my life
'Cause I know it
would end off in grieving
And the last thing I need is a wife.
