Hush, not a word to Mary
She means the world to me
Don't wanna lose herOh, hush, not a word to Mary
Don't let her know
I stayed here with youMary's gone visiting
All the folks at home
Kind of you to ask me around
Knowing I'm aloneA cigarette, a glass of wine
A little harmless fun
A cosy chat about this and that
Never could hurt anyoneOh, hush, not a word to Mary
She may not understand
And she may worryOh, hush, not a word to Mary
Don't want her crying
Over nothing at allMary does everything
Keeping me in mind
Loving me so faithfully
That constantly I findI think of her and long for her
When she's not around
I love her so, I'm sure you know
I never could let her downSo, hush, not a word to Mary
Don't wanna break her heart
All over nothingOh, hush, not a word to Mary
Show me the door
It's time I went home
