Jim Ed Brown and the Browns "Margo (The 9th of May)" |
(Boudleaux Bryant) It was eighteen hundred and ninety two The horses were young and the buggy was new Jim and Margo were happy and gay And the date was the 9th of May. A horseless carriage abruptly appeared The stallion jumped and whinnied and reared Margo hit the dirt in a sickening way And Jim was alone on his wedding day. Margo, Margo Margo's gone away But they say that old Jim Meets her every 9th of May. Margo's been gone for many a year But her name still brings a trace of a tear To ol' Jim's old eyes as dim as they are And he still hates the sight of a car. Once a year old Jim goes back to the scene And he waits near the church for his long lost queen They make all the wedding vows over they say When Margo appears on the 9th of May. Margo, Margo Margo's gone away But they say that old Jim Meets her every 9th of May... Every 9th of May Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
