Mary Makes Magic - Harry Belafonte

Heard you were looking for a permanent home

All I had was what I could carry

I know You’re a gypsy and could teach me to fly

They told me that your name was Mary

Mary can fly, Mary don’t cry

She makes love by the ocean

When I am down, Mary come 'round

Yes I carry Mary down to the ocean

Yes I carry Mary down to the ocean

When I was young I used to think about love

Wondered how to tell it was real now

Mary she kissed me then she smiled and she said

You can tell it by the way that it feels now

Mary can fly, Mary don’t cry

She makes love by the ocean

When I am down Mary come 'round

Yes I carry Mary down to the ocean

Yes I carry Mary down to the ocean

Mary makes magic and she does it so well

That’s the reason that I can’t refuse her

I told her my secrets, but she’ll never tell

That’s the reason that I don’t want to lose her

That’s the reason that I don’t want to lose her

Mary can fly, Mary don’t cry

She makes love by the ocean

When I am down, Mary come 'round

Yes I carry Mary down to the ocean

Yes I carry Mary down to the ocean

(Mary can fly, Mary don’t cry

She makes love by the ocean

When I am down, Mary come 'round

Yes I carry Mary down to the ocean

Yes I carry Mary down to the ocean)

She can fly, she don’t cry

She won’t turn me down

When I come to town

She makes magic

Ain’t no dollar trick

Does it all with ease

Makes you want to please

Carry Mary down to the ocean

Tol' me love was real

It’s the way it feels

She can fly

She don’t cry
