[Verse 1]
We only knew each other by letter
I went to meet her off the train
When the smoke had cleared and the dust was still
She was standing there and speaking my name
I guarantee she looked like an angel
I couldn't think of what I should say
But when Adam saw Eve in the Garden
I believe he felt the selfsame way
[Verse 2]
I handed her up on the wagon
And I loaded up her trunk behind
She was sitting up there with the gold in her hair
And I tried to get a hold of my mind
[Chorus]
You think that you could love me, Mary?
Think we got a chance of a life?
Do you think that you could love me, Mary?
Now you are to be my wife
[Verse 3]
We finally headed out of the station
And we drove up the home trail
And when we came on the farm she laid a hand on my arm
I thought my resolution would fail
We only knew each other by letter
I went to meet her off the train
When the smoke had cleared and the dust was still
She was standing there and speaking my name
I guarantee she looked like an angel
I couldn't think of what I should say
But when Adam saw Eve in the Garden
I believe he felt the selfsame way
[Verse 2]
I handed her up on the wagon
And I loaded up her trunk behind
She was sitting up there with the gold in her hair
And I tried to get a hold of my mind
[Chorus]
You think that you could love me, Mary?
Think we got a chance of a life?
Do you think that you could love me, Mary?
Now you are to be my wife
[Verse 3]
We finally headed out of the station
And we drove up the home trail
And when we came on the farm she laid a hand on my arm
I thought my resolution would fail
