Bluegrass Songs - Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk I haven't seen Mary in years 
While walking one day in the country I saw a gathering crowd And as my footsteps drew me closer I smelled the sweet fragrance of flowers It looking like a family reunion Had my eyes not counted the tears And an old man sat by a graveyard I haven't seen Mary in years
 Hold to my hand and lead me Lead me away from here I just brought these flowers for Mary I haven't seen Mary in years 
When Mary and I were first married We had such plans for out child But for no reason I started rambling And like the four winds I just went wild If I could live my life over I would bring Mary such cheer Now she's gone where she'll never meet me I haven't seen Mary in years
 * Refrain 
Then the old man left the graveyard And I walked right by his side I called his name but through all his shame His son he did not recognize 
Hold to my hand and lead me Lead me away from here How could I know it was Mama I haven't seen Mary in years
 * Refrain
