Joan Baez - Mary Call Lyrics
Mary Call, Mary CallYou never stumble, you never fallSilver stars and lilies callFor the yearning of the young oneNamed Mary CallShe's the treasure of the mountainsAnd the dearest one of all.Papa's gone and mama tooThis life has been quite cruel to youBut spirit took you from the startIt made you brave and it gave you heartBrothers and sisters by your sideYou worked so hard that the earth took prideIt gave you sage, wild thyme and rueTo earn your keep, to pull you through.Mary Call, Mary CallYou stand so straight and you stand so tallWinds will sweep and rivers fallFor the yearning of the young oneNamed Mary CallShe's the treasure of the mountainsAnd the dearest one of all.When you finally met despairA kindly man came to your careHe held you in his arms and saidJust dry your eyes and rest your headToo tired to argue or protestYou realized you'd done your bestThere'll be a place for you somewhereTo tie bright ribbons through your hair.Mimi FarinaCopyright
