For the sake of Mary I kicked the reds
Junked the juice, I drink coffee instead
Straightened my teeth, bent my back
Cut my friends dead from the old rat pack
For Mary

[Verse 1]

For the sake of Mary I kicked the reds
Junked the juice, I drink coffee instead
Straightened my teeth, bent my back
Cut my friends dead from the old rat pack
For Mary

[Verse 2]

She bought me this silk suit, watch and chain
She put the rhythm in my stride again
She showed me the way to make her feel good
If I could do more then I surely would
For Mary
Ah, for Mary

[Chorus]

For the sake of Mary I played my hand
She still don't trust me to be her man
I say the right thing but my timing's bad
She thinks I'm like the rest, but I'm the best she's ever had
For the sake of Mary
For the sake of Mary

[Verse 3]

Oh I was cook first class on the Belfast B
But when she sailed she sailed without me
In Needle Pete's got my last tattoo
In bleeding letters of red and blue
For Mary

[Chorus]

For the sake of Mary I changed my drift
I got a good job on the graveyard shift
Set her heart on a pretty little place
I wanna see the tears of joy on her face, oh oh
For the sake of Mary

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

For the sake of Mary I keep the flame
I don't wanna be the villain again
She had her bad times and it's shook her about
I don't wanna take the easy way out, no no
For the sake of Mary
For the sake of Mary

[Outro]

For the sake of Mary
For the sake of Mary
For the sake of Mary
