too many years ago
I knew a girl called Mary
Mary wasn't hard to get and
Mary liked to kiss a lot and
Mary used to talk to me but
I didn't care to listen
now I know I was wrong and
I hope that my song
will go straight to her mind
I hope that I will find her
la laj laj laj laj
have you seen Mary
they said I didn't care enough
I said they shouldn't worry
'cause all I had to do was kiss her hand
and tell her I am sorry
one sunny day we went to the church
and as the priest asked her she said
yes I do, but now I don't know
'cause I haven't seen her since
la laj laj laj laj
have you seen Mary
so the next time you see a girl
won't you look into her eyes
and if they are the saddest eyes
you've ever seen
won't you ask her if her name is
won't you ask her if her name is
won't you ask her if her name is
won't you ask her if her name is
Mary
