[Verse 1]
When Mary was a young gal she took to wanderin'
But never would she leave me and not come back again
Could swear I hear her singin', singin' in the western wind
Three days, and I'll be comin' home

[Chorus]
Oh well, it's oh, Miss Mary, it's where, where are you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss Mary, it's where, where are you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss Mary, it's where, where are you wanderin'?
Three days, and Mary's comin' home

[Verse 2]
Well, Mary chased the rainbows over the mountains
She crossed so many rivers, Lord, that I can't count them
She wouldn't want them rainbows even if she found them
Three days, and Mary's comin' home

[Chorus]
Oh well, it's oh, Miss Mary, it's where, where are you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss Mary, it's where, where are you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss Mary, it's where, where are you wanderin'?
Three days, and Mary's comin' home

[Verse 3]
Watchin' for my Mary, wish she were home again
Home from the rivers, Lord, home from the mountains
I'm afraid to turn my back, Lord, she'd just be gone again
Three days, and Mary's comin' home
[Chorus]
Oh well, it's oh, Miss Mary, it's where, where are you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss Mary, it's where, where are you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss Mary, it's where, where are you wanderin'?
Three days, and Mary's comin' home

[Outro]
Oh, Miss Mary, it's where, where are you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss Mary, it's where, where are you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss Mary, it's where, where are you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss Mary
