From the recording Everything & Nothing
Lyrics
Mary Ann she was a sweet one
She set up South in Georgia playing uke in a local college band She’d strum with her thumb and sing her voice numb
Yeah she was known all across that campus land
Sweet Mary Ann,
I hope someday I make you proud If I wind up in a band
Oh yeah, Sweet Mary Ann
Mary she once loved and old gypsy sailor
and together they made a Georgia peach
That peach grew up to be the mother of three sons that are lucky to have her in their reach
Sweet Mary Ann,
I hope someday I make you proud If I wind up in a band
Oh yeah, Sweet Mary Ann
Mary, she used to smoke cigarettes
And she’d drink those long necks down
But she gave it all up for the love of her grandsons And that’s love that counts for a whole lot right now
Sweet Mary Ann,
I hope someday I make you proud If I wind up in a band
Oh yeah, Sweet Mary Ann
