Tyme Out Third, John And Mary Tabs

JOHN AND MARY (W. Benson)
recorded by IIIrd Tyme Out (1999)

        C
Down in south Alabama

Where the cypress trees grow

There lived a man named John looking for a wife
      G           C
So to town he did go
       C
It was there he found sweet Mary

And they made their wedding plans

The next Sunday morning when the church bells rang
           G               C
They were standing hand in hand



And the preacher said
C               
John do you take Mary for your wife

And he said
                    G          C
Oh yes Lord for the rest of my life

And the preacher said
 C
Mary do you love this man in front of you

And she said
            G               C
Oh yes Lord forever I'll be true


Now when the sun comes up in the morning
They look into each other's eyes
And the love and the faith that they see in each other
No one can deny
And the little baby boy she holds in her arms
With the power when you pray
And every night on their knees they thank the Lord above
For giving them that day

When the preacher said
John do you take Mary for your wife
And he said
Oh yes Lord for the rest of my life
And the preacher said
Mary do you love this man in front of you
And she said
Oh yes Lord forever I'll be true
