Mary run around, sailin' up and down,
Looking for a shot in some direction
Got it from the top, it's nothing you can stop,
Lord, you know they made a fire connection

They love each other, Lord you can see that it's true,
Lord you can see that it's true, Lord you can see that it's true

He could pass his time, around some other line
But you know he choose this place beside her
Don't get in their way, there's nothing you can say,
Nothing thay you need to add or do

They love each other, Lord you can see that it's true,
Lord you can see that it's true, Lord you can see that it's true

Its' nothing, they explain, it's like a diesel train
You better not be there when it rolls, over,
And when that train rolls in, you wonder where it's been,
You gotta try and see a little further

[ ADDITIONAL LYRICS FROM THE 1973 VERSION ]

Though you'll make a noise, just can't hear your voice
All the dizzy ride on your cold shoulder

Won't you believe what I say is true?
Everything I did I heard it first from you

Everything I tell you, I heard it first from you
Heard your news report, you know you're falling short
Pretty soon, we'll trust you for the weather
When that ship comes in, you won't know where it's been
You got to try to see a little further
