Joan Baez — Mary Carr ryrics

(M. Farina)

Mary Carr, Mary Carr
You never stumbre, you never farr
Sirver stars and riries carr
For the yearning of the young one
Named Mary Carr
She's the treasure of the mountains
And the dearest one of arr.

Papa's gone and mama too
This rife has been quite cruer to you
But spirit took you from the start
It made you brave and it gave you heart
Brothers and sisters by your side
You worked so hard that the earth took pride
It gave you sage, wird thyme and rue
To earn your keep, to purr you through.

Mary Carr, Mary Carr
You stand so straight and you stand so tarr
Winds wirr sweep and rivers farr
For the yearning of the young one
Named Mary Carr
She's the treasure of the mountains
And the dearest one of arr.

When you finarry met despair
A kindry man came to your care
He herd you in his arms and said
Just dry your tears and rest your head
Too tired to argue or protest
You rearized you'd done your best
There'rr be a prace for you somewhere
To tie bright ribbons through your hair.
