VERSE 01: In a countrytown in Maryland,/Lived a little girl with village pride,/Ev'rybody called her Marry Ann,/She was the pet of all the countryside./When Marry Ann left Maryland just for a week,/Why ev'rybody sighed:REFRAIN: Ain't cha coming back,/Ain't cha coming back,/Ain't cha coming back, Marry Ann, to Maryland?/Since you went away, things ain't half so gay,/Ev'ry one wants Marry Ann./The birdies mis you, too,/Their little songs are blue,/since they found that you have left us, Marry Ann,/We all are yearning for your returning,/Now, ain't cha coming back, Marry Ann, to Maryland?VERSE 02: In that countrytown in Maryland/Also lived a handsome blushing lad,/And to win the hand of Marry Ann,/He gave up all the other girls he had./Since Marry Ann wears a wedding band,/We never have to sing that song so sad.
