The Statler Brothers

So Mary Could Make It Home

by The Statler Brothers
The Statler Brothers

Biography:

The Statler Brothers were an American country music vocal group founded in 1955 in Staunton, Virginia.

Originally performing gospel music at local churches, the group billed themselves as The Four Star Quartet, and later The Kingsmen. In 1963, when the song "Louie, Louie" by the garage rock band also called The Kingsmen became famous, the group elected to bill themselves as The Statler Brothers. Despite the name, only two members of the group (Don and Harold Reid) are actual brothers and none have the surname of "Statler".

C
From the first day school let out each summer
F C Em C G
All the kids would come to our backyard and
Am C D G
We’d play ball and keep track of our home runs
C Em C
And all the boys would do just fine but
F C
One thing was never known
F F#m G A
I sacrificed my back lot average
Em G C
So Mary could make it home

C
So Mary could make it home
C F
So Mary could make it home
Fm G A
I always hit to the right fielder’s mitt
G C
So Mary could make it home

C
Well Mary was the first girl I ever knew
F C Em
To have a paper route
C G Am C D G
I taught her how to fold em up and how to throw em out
C Em C
And I remember a thousand evenings
F C
When the rain would start to come
F F#m G A
I’d finish the block and get soaking wet
Em G C
So Mary could make it home

C
So Mary could make it home
C F
So Mary could make it home
Fm G A
Well my old Schwin was a rusty sin
G C
So Mary could make it home

C
Well I held hands and carried books
F C Em
Like all the other kids
C G Am C D G
But I held and carried Mary’s More than anyone did
C Em C
And when Mary’s Daddy said 11 O’ Clock
F C
In that low curfew tone
F F#m G A
Well I missed the ends of more good movies
Em G C
So Mary could make it home

C
So Mary could make it home
C F
So Mary could make it home
Fm G A
I missed the end of Gone With The Wind
G C
So Mary could make it home

C
It must have been fifteen years
F C Em
Since we had seen each other
C G Am C D G
But a few months ago I ran into Mary And we had lunch together
C Em C
We laughed and talked and then we cried
F C
She asked if I would phone
F F#m G A
I lied and said I better not
Em G C
So Mary could make it home

C
So Mary could make it home
C F
So Mary could make it home
Fm G A
Now the love we steal is short but real
G C
So Mary can make it home
