American Old Time Song Lyrics: 04 Carry The News To Mary
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 4
Carry the News to Mary.
Oh, Martha wept and Mary cried,
We're all surrounded:
The good old man has gone and died.
We're all surrounded;
Shake off your slumbers and arise,
We're all surrounded;
The sun is shining in the skies,
We're all surrounded.
Chorus.
Carry the news,
Carry the news to Mary
Carry the news.
We're all surrounded.
The good old man we'll see no more,
We're all surrounded;
He has gone to the happy shore,
We're all surrounded;
He's cone and left us darks alone,
We're all surrounded;
And Gabriel's trumpet called him home,
We're all surrounded.-Chorus.
Adam and Eve climbed up a tree,
We're all surrounded;
Their lamb and master for to see.
We're all surrounded;
Eve stole an apple from the tree,
We're all surrounded;
And Adam was stung by a bumble-bee
We're all surrounded.-Chorus.
