The girl I love left me So me and Mary went to the Cape To gingerboard houses and overcast days Yeah, I barely knew her, but she knew the way | |
On a ferry to the vineyard kissing a girl I don’t know Drink a pint or two or three at the island bar it flows How could I decline that kind of offer, well I think I’ll have another and I’m feeling kind of smothered and Suddenly surrounded by strangers and they all know my name | |
Hey, yeah, I’m here to get away But I can’t forget her name -- she left me And I’ve been drunk for fifteen days | |
And where has Mary gotten to? She’s over there hanging on some guy -- I don’t know why What am I doing here? I guess it’s time for another beer | |
Hey brother will you roll me another I’ve got to escape I’m having trouble understanding what I expected to find here All the beer and marijuana put me off from thinking, then it starts again and hits me like a ton of bricks Your troubles ride you down no matter how far you run away | |
Hey, yeah, what was your name? I can’t seem to find Mary -- that’s okay I like you better anyway | |
Let’s go walking, let’s go by the oceanside Let’s hold hands, let’s go lie down side by side | |
Hey, you’re so sweet, but now it’s kind of late I’ve got a boat to catch today -- this island Gave me three strange days |
