MARY LEE

Down by the frozen lake outside the town
Met a girl named Mary sitting there on the ground
She caught me trying to take her photograph
And chased me though the woods with a carving knife

Hey Mary, why'd you look so sad?
Hey Mary, why'd you have to be so bad?

Down by the frozen lake outside the town
Saw Mary digging up the hardened ground
I tried to see what she was burying
Didn't see the tripwires that she'd laid for me

Oh Mary, please just set me free
Yeah, I won't tell the sheriff what I've seen
