I take a trip every evening Scrolling down memory lane I'm walkin' again those familiar paths Dreaming those dreams again
And I can always see my sweetheart Just as she used to be Waiting for someone at the garden gate And I know that someone is me
Big brown eyes and pearly hair And you'd tell that's Mary Rosy cheeks and ruby lips Can't you tell that's Mary
Of times in the evenings we'd go scrolling Hand in hand together beneath the pepper tree And I can feel her hand in mine as I sit alone tonight Dreaming of the times I spent with Mary
Ofttimes in the evenings Oh, gee wouldn't it be wonderful to open up the doors of the past And live again as yesterday But you know no matter where I wander no matter where I roam
There'll always be a place in my heart boys For a girl away back for a girl that I used to call Mary
