Freckled Mary

The first time I saw her she was messed up
All outta' breath and runnin' her mouth
Ma said she's one of them criminal girls
All trouble, and nothing else
But me I always saw something different
And I tried to get close anytime I could
And one day she stopped me in the alleyway and jumped me
And asked me if I would

And then right away
I had wings for the day
And I looked on the land I was over
Saw saints in the street and Freckled Mary on her knees
Makin' sure that no one died 'til we got old

Sometimes in the car she would tremble
And speak of how hard her young heart aches
My sister got dusted, my brothers all got busted
Good lord how much can you take
Her face was a frenzy of freckles
Her eyes as dark as they were blue
She pulled me in close in the custom continental
And told me exactly what to do

And then right away
I had wings for the day
And I looked on the land I was over
Saw saints in the street and Freckled Mary on her knees
Makin' sure that no one died 'til we got old

(Hey, Ohh, Ayy)

We all want to be part of something bigger
Now all our friends; they're gone
They were taken in from the Rabbit Inn Rebellion into the paddy wagon
With Freckled Mary yelling "firebomb!"
Firebomb!

And then right away
I had wings for the day
And I looked on the land I was over
Saw saints in the street and Freckled Mary on her knees
Makin' sure that no one died 'til we got old

And then right away
I had wings for the day
And I looked on the land I was over
Saw saints in the street and Freckled Mary on her knees
Makin' sure that no one died 'til we got old
