The Ballad of Mary Magdalen

My name is Mary Magdalen

I come from Palestine

Please excuse these rags Im in

But Ive fallen on hard times

But long ago I had my work

When I was in my prime

But I gave it up, and all for love

It was his career or mineJesus loved me

This I know

But why on earth

Did I ever let him go

He was always faithful

He was always kind

But he walked off

With this heart of mineA love like this will come but once

This I do believe

And Ill not see his like again

As I live and breath

And Im sorry if I might offend

But I will never see

How the tenderness I shared with him

Became a heresyJesus loved me

This I know

But why on earth

Did I ever let him go

He was always faithful

He was always kind

But he walked off

With this heart of mineBut I remember nights we spent

Whispering our creed

Our rituals, our sacraments

The stars our canopy

There beneath an olive tree

Wed offer up our plea

Gods creation innocent

His arms surrounding meJesus loves me

This I know

But why on earth

Did he ever have to go

He was always faithful

He was always kind

But he walked off

With this heart of mine
