John And Mary

JOHN AND MARY
 Down in south Alabama
 Where the cypress trees grow
 There lived a man named John looking for a wife
 So to town he did go
 It was there he found sweet Mary
 And they made their wedding plans
 The next Sunday morning when the church bells rang
 They were standing hand in hand
 And 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
 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
