lyrics

They stole away a boy on the river
Coyotes took him across the land
Dropping stones in the clay
He left a song to mark his way
Just a lost boy singing marys river

You won’t find ships on this water
No explorers stealing across the land
No whaling Mobies in the bay
No ocean liners ashore for days
Just a lost boy singing

Sweet Mary’s river
Sweet running by
Sweet marys river
Wrapped me up where I lay
My body gone but I was here to stay

A salmon is rushing for the ladder
Fails and flys again
A man fishes fly
The day is falling in his eye
And lost boy is singing mary’s river

Sweet Mary’s river
Sweet running by
Sweet Marys river
Wrapped me up where I lay
My body gone but I was here to stay

Sweet Mary’s river
Sweet running by
Sweet Marys river
Wrapped me up where I lay
My body gone but I was here to stay
