Calling Mary Names

C
I used to get in trouble with my 
momma and daddy

    F       G7   C
For calling Mary names


More than once I got a sore sit me 
down

    F       G7   C
For calling Mary names


    F                 C
But little girls just didn’t fit in

     F                   G7
With little boys playing cowboys and
 Indians

C
Every night’s a stolen game

    F       G7   C
For calling Mary names

No telling how many times I had to 
stay after school

    F       G7   C
For calling Mary names


Wore out the blackboard writing I’m 
a bad boy

    F       G7   C
For calling Mary names


F                          C
She couldn’t play baseball she 
couldn’t ride a bike

   F                          G7
In fact she couldn’t play any games 
little boys liked

C
I was always getting the blame

    F       G7   C
For calling Mary names


F                           C    
Then we started growing up  then 
               Am
we were in our teens

F                                  
Then something started showing up  
G7
that I had never seen

C                                 
All of a sudden one day I looked 
   F    G7       C
and Mary sure had changed

Seems like it happened all overnight
     F    G7     C
 and Mary was rearranged


   F                        C
Ah but that all happened so long ago

F                              G7
You see Mary’s my wife now and I 
just love her so

C
But one thing sure hasn’t changed

          F       G7   C         
I’m still calling Mary names like
              F
 darling then sweetheart

     C      F                G7   
Then baby I love you calling Mary
