    Story Behind the Song
    You can think of each song as its own country, a self-contained place full of entreaty and enthusiasm where people aren't afraid to do things differently.

    Lyrics
    SWEET SISTER MARY

    Sweet sister Mary, what is this I hear
    I near than you're planning on leaving from here
    And I fear that it's true there's a great empty space
    Faces are crying all over the place

    Stay Mary stay

    The tears and the rain and the dew occupy
    The valley sweet Mary where you say good-bye
    Now while under the rain I was bit by a fish
    Mary you plan to allow me one wish

    How pleasant the banks and green valley's
    where wild in the woodland the primroses blow
    often as mild evening weeps over the lea
    and the sweet scented birk shades my Mary and me.

    Stay Mary stay

    The sun never shines o're this valley
    the mountains are crying all day
    The trees never change from the autumn
    Since Mary said Mary can't stay
    Away, away, away

    Sweet sister Mary, the church closed its doors
    The men's room is sweeping the tears from the floors
    And I know you'll be missed, but I think we'll survive
    Mary Sweet Mary, may tray good bye

    Bye Mary Bye

    from the poetry of Robert Burns
