"...Kay"



Lyrics:

Almost forgot, started to say
Rode into the sun, past everyone
Hallelujah, pretty Mary Kay

I found faith in the infirmary
There's a soldier lying in bed
With a wound to the head
Calling out to pretty Mary Kay

Here's what you get for things that haven't happened yet

I happened upon pretty Mary Kay
But a soldier's uniform waved you away

I walk round the dock and talk to St. James
Though I'm already done
And ask everyone "have you seen her?"
Pretty Mary Kay

Have you seen her?
Pretty Mary Kay
