Title Hush, not a word to Mary
Lyrictext

Hush, not a word to Mary
She means the world to me
Don't wanna lose her

Oh, hush, not a word to Mary
Don't let her know
I stayed here with you

Mary's gone visiting
All the folks at home
Kind of you to ask me around
Knowing I'm alone

A cigarette, a glass of wine
A little homeless fun
A cosy chat about this and that
Never could hurt anyone

Oh, hush, not a word to Mary

She may not understand
And she may worry

Oh, hush, not a word to Mary
Don't want her crying
Over nothing at all

Mary does everything
Keeping me in mind
Loving me so faithfully
That constantly I find

I think of her and long for her
When she's not around
I love her so, I'm sure you know
I never could let her down

So, hush, not a word to Mary
Don't wanna break her heart
All over nothing

Oh, hush, not a word to Mary
Show me the door
It's time I went home
