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

They love each other, lord you can see that its true,
Lord you can see that its true, lord you can see that its true

He could pass his time, around some other line
But you know he choose this place beside her
Dont get in their way, theres nothing you can say,
Nothing that you need to add or do

They love each other, lord you can see that its true,
Lord you can see that its true, lord you can see that its true

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

[ additional lyrics from the 1973 version ]

Though youll make a noise, just cant hear your voice
All the dizzy ride on your cold shoulder

Wont 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 youre falling short
Pretty soon, well trust you for the weather
When that ship comes in, you wont know where its been
You got to try to see a little further
