Mary B lyrics

Beyond the mountains

At the heart of the hollow

If you make a right at the fork in the road

You may see her riding.

She’s at home with the horses.

They’re happy to be there:

Gentle and free there.

We know Mary keeps it together.

Oh, ride, Mary, ride!

Ride, Mary, ride!

Strong like an Amazon

You’re gonna carry on!

With her mother’s attentions

And her daughter’s devotion

It’s the blood they share running back somewhere

Past the memories of mankind

It’s the ages of women

Generations on horses

Flow through the senses

Carry the message:

“Endure like a legend!”

And, ride, Mary, ride!

Mary, ride! Mary, ride!

Strong like an Amazon

You’re gonna carry on!

She has suffered her losses

Her life hasn’t been easy

And she’s faced misfortune straight to the bone

And she knows she’s survivin’

Like the women before her

We all admire

Beautiful Mary, she inspires

The women around her

Oh, ride, Mary, ride!

I love to see you when you ride!

Strong like an Amazon

You’re gonna carry on!

In her worn, old barn clothes

Mary cares for the horses

So finely formed, her hands are so sure

Her voice is so certain

And the animals listen

They do what she tells them

Kind Mary, she’s tough and wise

It’s so nice being with her

Ah, she looks so fine

In her hand-sewn waistcoat

Mary’s schoolin’ the horses

And the girls they come, and they learn how to ride

With her personal guidance

Like a star, she sits so steady

On Twinkle on Black Nite

Proud Mary, she seems like a queen

She rides like a lady

Oh, ride, Mary, ride!

Oh, Mary, ride! Mary, ride!

Strong like an Amazon

You’re gonna carry on!
