Mary Johnson Lyrics by Hazel Dickens, Alice Gerrard

Hazel Dickens & Alice Gerrard

0

[Verse 1: Alice Gerrard with Hazel Dickens]
I'm just sittin' in this bar room
Yes, that's whiskey that you see
And my name is Mary Johnson
And, Lord, my feet are killing me
I've been working hard and I just stopped in
Before I head on home
And if you're thinkin' something different, friend
Well, you sure are thinkin' wrong
And if you think you're readin' want-to
In these big brown eyes of mine
Well, it's only a reflection of the want-to in your mind

[Verse 2: Alice Gerrard with Hazel Dickens]
I like good time talkin'
And I like good company
And if you could see it my way
Well, you know we might be friends
But you think my bein' here alone's
An invitation to my bed
And this drink you think is turnеd me on
Has only turned your head
And if you think you'rе readin' want-to
In these big brown eyes of mine
Well, it's only a reflection of the want-to in your mind

[Verse 3: Alice Gerrard with Hazel Dickens]
Now, we all get lonely sometimes
And this might be your time
And you're seein' satin pillows
Sweet perfume, forbidden wine
And you think I'm thinking of love
And now and then, I do
Oh, but, just like you, the want-to's
A little thing I'd like to choose
And if you think you're readin' want-to
In these big brown eyes of mine
Well, it's only a reflection of the want-to in your mind
