Mary Lou 03:05
Late in the evening, they came to my door They said that they found you washed up on shore I fell to my knees, and called out to you ‘My God! Have I lost you? My God! Have I lost you? My God! My God!’ We buried you in Natchez, it rained all day Once everyone had left, your father stayed And as it came down, he beat his chest and howled ‘My God, did You lose her? My God, did You lose her? My God! My God!’ Mary Lou, Mary Lou, Mary Lou, Mary Lou, Mary Lou I wake in the twilight, my half of the bed The sheets have been soaked through with my sweat I rouse with your name on my breath ‘My God! Have I lost you? My God! Have I lost you? My God! My God!'

My baby took me down to Vermilion Bay He held me in his arms, I never felt so safe My baby took us out, out upon the waves I close my eyes and smile, as I feel the spray And at that point I’d never felt so free Jesus could’ve come and taken me And that’s when His hands are on me Breath taken from me The surface fading At the bottom, I see spirits next to me In the darkness, I will follow where they lead Never looking back The struggle’s over His arms are open I simply let go My baby took me down to Vermilion Bay
