Do you want to elope tonight

Getting lost in the shadows

All dressed up like a switchblade knife

Let's hang in love from the gallows

Or we can take a walk around the lake

There's a garden in the park there

Under the stars next to the fireside

anywhere is better than here

Oh Mother Mary, take my hand

I'll be a saint, I'll be your man

I'll do most anything, 'cause I don't care ...

Oh Mother Mary, take my hand.

Take a ride on the midnight train

We'll fall asleep at the station

Too much wine, driving me insane

And then we'll miss our destination

Oh well, too bad, who cares, it's all right.

As long as we will stick together

In hell we'll rain in rows of sunshine

We'll watch it rise and shine forever

Oh Mother Mary, take my hand

I'll be a saint, I'll be your man

I'll do most anything, 'cause I don't care ...

Oh Mother Mary, take my hand.
