Take A Message To Mary Lyrics
Artist: The Everly Brothers
These are the words of a frontier lad
Who lost his love when he turned ba-ad
Take a message to Mary but don't tell â'er where I am
Take a message to Mary but don't say I'm in a jam
You can tell her I had to see the world or tell â'er that my ship set sail
You can say she better not wait for me but don't tell her I'm in jail
Oh, don't tell her I'm in jail
Take a message to Mary but don't tell â'er what I've done
Please don't mention the stagecoach and the shot from a careless gun
You can tell her I had to change my plans and cancel out the wedding day
But please don't mention my lonely cell where I'm gonna pine away
Until my dying day
Take a message to Mary but don't tell â'er all you know
My heart's achin' for Mary, Lord knows I miss her so
Just tell her I went to Timbuktu, tell her I'm searchin' for gold
You can say she better find someone new to cherish and to hold
Oh, Lord, this cell is cold
Ma-ary, Ma-a-a-a-ary
Oh, Lord this cell is cold

Comments/Interpretations
My favorite Everly Brothers song is Take a message to Mary.It ROCS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It is sad yet powerful,why don't people listen to oldies,they might find some good songs instead of the junk they listen to these days.I always sing that wonderful song in my head over, sometimes I can't concentrate on what's going on.I really hope I will be able to download it to my (soon-to-be)ipod which I would play over and over until I get tired of it (which will never happen).I am going to try and write down all the Lryics so I would know the songs be heart,down to everly little puntucation mark.(Yep.)
it is totally makes me sad !!
and i really likes it. now i started studying the beautiful lyrics.....who knows one day i might be one of them !!
The song is really good. It makes me feel quite sad but i still like. Two young brothers. It sad they have to get seperated
I TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A love story gone wrong. I wonder if she would have forgiven him if he`d let her know.Sad but a good song.
This is one of my best country hits. I love ittttttttttttttt!
the first time i heard the song,i totaly fell in love with the lyrics,i believe the song will definately last till eternity.it is a kind of song that takes you to the deepest level of meditation about love and when you have to part unexpectly with someone you truly love.
i tried to put myself into mary's shoes and i could not help but cry a bucket of tears.what a sorrowful song
Real everlasting,since early eighties I came across the song courtesy my late father,it retains that unimaginary quality. God bless these guys soul.

It sound nice and cool, no morning without listening to it. Very Heart touching and good for a heartfelt experience. Love it so much. Am taking the message as you said.
I'm only 20 years old and I've seen these guys twice. Some of the best music in history came from this era (granted most of it is quite sad and depressing but I love that kind of music. It makes me feel happy inside that I am so lucky to have a wife that I love and who loves me back) People should ALWAYS listen to the oldies
i've always loved this song but never knew all the lyrics.makes you realise that when you love someone you really 've got to be careful so you don't make "careless" mistakes that will separate you from them and break their hearts.
it been long that i'd been searching for this lyrics but thank G od i got it today.

I love this song because my mum used to sing it as a lullaby to get me and my brothers to sleep when we were little. I now sing it to my little baby and it gets him off to sleep every time. I wanted to check out the lyrics as I could only remember the first verse - now I can sing the whole song.

Seems its all Guys that posted: Ok Melancholic and full of Messages . Wish it doesnt end the way it does...shortly like abruptly ...
Wants to continue the lyrics..and rhythm.
Ilove country music and Kenny Rogers is one guy I've listened to most. And I can tell you one thing for a fact. though the story of this song is very simple the way it was sung gave it a different meaning. this is one of the very best I've heard.

This song reminds me of my lovely sister called MARY. How sweet.
any time this song comes up on my radio, ican't help but continue to ponder how creative these guys really are.
Jesus Christ! i must buy this CD today today! incredible lyrics I've longed to know
One for the old man."Dad" May he RIP
I came across this song sometime 1987 when i was very young, i never knew i'ld ever listen to it again until 1993 when i was searching my dads archive, i played it often and on but never learnt the lyrics till this blessed day. I was playing the music but never knew what's all about,now i've known,my bones has gone weak. I'm so down, feeling for Mary the poor bride.
it is a testament of the mystery of desire to love and be loved
what could be more painful on earth than loosing a love one ? Parting to me is the most difficult thing to do. l love this music so much, it relieves me of pain
I came across this song in 2009 and i love it die
this is true love
This song stand the taste of time. It cut across every racial and age barrier. It is a song that need to be sung
I'm a country music lover/addict. I so much like this particular album 'take a message to Mary'. It's sonorous!
What do I do or what do I sing for my only lover who deserted me for years, we met again, came back to normal and yet she chose not to talk to me on phone and e-mail.
Maybe I'll ring for her "ain't go marry in the fall" by Don Williams.
My e-mail address is: babbie_grl@yahoo.com
This is one of my favourit songs off the Everly Brothers. It's from the good old sixties.
I am a music lover due to its meaningfulness, and also a music hater due to its meaninglessness. I so much love listening to the meaning of the music as well as to its air before rating the music. I got this music "take a message to mary" when I was searching for musics to select for my phone. About 95% of musics I found, I discarded, but immediately I got this music "take a message to mary", it was another thing, very interesting, meaningful and heart touching. I therefore fell in love with it right away. I would like to learn more about these guys.
I was very shocked when i first listen to this song take a message to mary on a friend's phone. it opened my eye for our societal selection of a love one
Each time i listen to this song, honestly it kept keeping me on the edges of my seat...more&more grease to the Writers elbow!!!!
this song is too gbaski.
D song calls me back and reminds me wat Love really means. I totally love dis song and i name it MY BEST SONG EVER.
the song is too fantastic to me. Any time i listen to it,it makes me reflect on my past as a young boy.To me it is simple the best i love everly brothers.
This song just rockssss.......
It makes my heart soar. He should have been pitied and released. I can feel the love for mary that he had.
oh what sorrowful song i wish i would listen to it every day . infact this song can heal any love sick person i bet you
when i first heard the song i felt like crying infact i cried when i saw the lyrics i even cried the more. anyone who has seen the lyrics of this song or has heard it SOMEWHERE must like it or maybe love it. THE person has to feel sad.
I love the albums above and mostly take a message to mary .
I've been looking searching for the lyrics of the song "TAKE A Message To Mary" for years now, how delighted i was to hav found on the net. Im realy gratefuuuuuuuuul.
Mary,forgive him...He loves you!!!Nice track there Everly
Pls Mary my mother name sake, just try and forgive him.He loves u more than u can think of.What a lovely music !
Take a message to mary is very mind blowing,i don't know why people don't listening to countries. It always makes me feel cozy.
I nearly lose control when i really understand d music message,i felt 4 mary bt i also felt bad abt d frontier lad who loses his greatest treasure,in dis wicked world,he is tryn be a man by hidin his predicament,wht wil u do if u're on his shoe.gediononwe@yahoo.com
it is sad yet entertaining
I have been listening to this particuler song since 10 years and when ever I play it i feel different. It is really a masterpiece.
Love d message it carries/coolness of the song
i can't remember the last time i heard this song...i told my sister that the last time i listened to it, it was my mum that sang it to me when i was young.When my sister played it, i knew i needed the lyric...it has always been within inside and it feels me with emotions whenever i sing it...
This music (take a message to Mary)makes me go gaga for Everly Brothers. also, it kilters my memory and makes this decaying Earth more worth living.
I can kill for being deprived of listening to this music!
This is one of the best c.m. I've ever listened to.
Tears rolling on my cheeks.the favorite song of my first love.rest in peace.endless love
Each time I listen to this song tears runs in my eyes becos it always remind me of my love one who could not even send me a message like mary. i just love the music!
i am in luv with this music
Each time I listen to this song, It remind me of my first roommate at the University and the good times we had then.
sometimes you just need to settle and concentrate for you to really absorb the harmony of this wonderful song. I don't think I've heard other songs by the everly brothers but this one ROCKS!!!!!!!!!
I've been searching for Mary ever since I read this message. Unfortunately I've not been able to see her. Please who knows where to find this pretty Mary? I need to take this message to her. What an intelligent work that keeps the boby and soul together. Keep it up the Everly's
What a painful experince for losing a loved one. may God help Mary in Jesus name Amen.
Wow, what a highly sensational masterpiece; i played it repeatedly 4 3 hrs
i like the country music flow but mehn... this song is SAD.
its one sad story but beautifully executed.beautiful song.
Words talk of a man who is hurting- not for his own pain, but for Marys having let her down. It reeks of his love for her but at the same time aknowledging that her happiness is paramount. He feels terrible that he shall not marry her.
As i child i wondered who Mary was, but now i know and understand. Better than what i hear these days. Love was pure, modest, honest, wanting to give and die for. Pray you find someone to love you this way.
I was just singing Take a message to Mary while cooking, and it occured to me to check the web for the name of the group which i had forgotten. Oldies really are everlasting because they sang from the heart and from deep inspiration. And we get deeply inspired when we listen to them.
I remember when this song first played on the radio. I was very young but understood the pain of the words. They made me feel the hopelessness of the prisoner and his loss of Mary. The Everly Brothers have always had such amazing harmony and I don't think anyone else could have sung this song so beautifully.
this music gives me hope to believe that there is still real love out there. O Mary, lucky u. but its truly sad to loose such genuine love.

Wonderful song that makes you want to cry. But is this a Nigerian site? Why are there so many Nigerian comments here? Did Everly Brothers have their head office in Lagos? Lol!
'Everly brothers' -there's a calm and serene feelings whenever l listen to your songs.This particular song makes me cry when l listen to it but l have a question.Many of your songs are sad songs.Why?l love u two so much.After u leave,u shal be 'legend'.
I really love the music. Its a nice one.

Great song, already in my personal hall of fame.
dis song is soo powerful i luv it
this song is wooo, i cant really express ma emotions evrytime i hear dis song....
the song reminds me of my friend always............
The song is as ageless as love itself. You can feel palpable genuine love both from the lyrics and the tone of the song. It is soothing though sad. I like it.
Wow!! As always. The message will be carried to the many Marys' out there, whose spouses end up in jam as they struggle in the front line of daily necessities to bring love home. Marys' please understand that we are sometimes in jam while, we try to be men.
I love this music, the content is fantastic and always makes me want 2 cry 4 both mary and the man thanks Everly Brothers
No word describes this song better than beautiful. It is deeply, achingly beautiful. I fell in love with it the first time I heard it. It's an evergreen classic.
The song takes me back to the times when I was studying the Bible with sister Edel Mbwanga (a Witness of Jehovah.) She used to play the song and I liked it since then. I regularly tune it with my guitah when I run out of sleep. It will remain a monument for those sweet days that I still cherish.

Together with So Much In Love by All 4 one; peaks high in my heart. It's melancholic; oh! What an inspiration? What a Love and Care for a beloved? What a remorse?
It's a wonderful lyric to listen to . . . . Listen to it ppl ok!

I heard it on rythm 93.7f.m and fell in love with it ever since!
Powerful thoughts in few lines. Rare inspirations in one's lifetime. It only gets better with the running decades. Powerful lyrics with great symphony resonating with the melody of simple voices. A qualitative work is never destroyed but refined by time.

I feel so cheated for just knowing this song, this is the kind of song my mom should have sang for me since when i was little. The first day i heard the song i was so weak, i was ready to repent even though am not a bad boy. I wish this group would never stop singing.

I love the lyrics of this song, the first day i listen to the song, i fell in love with it, but it so sad to be seperated from the one u love so much, i pray mary should understand with him.

myself, my mum , ma dad and my siblings have been looking for this lyrics, thank God i got it finally.

A love song wit a sad lyrical content.
I heard dis song when i was a child wit a little understanding of wat d song meant, but i could feel very strong emotions coming from dis song @ dat young age...i heard it abt twice on radio, but waited this long at age 26 to download, listen and ponder on this words.
Sometimes i wonder what happened to mary afterwards.
This is a story of two love birds who had things going for them smoothly until an accidental discharge tore their journey of love apart.
Oh! Wat a loss!
A tragedic love story, one that ended on sad note "Take a message to Mary"...An ever green song!
I never get tired of it. Very simple lyrics and tune.
He must have been a good lad to even think of taking a message to Mary. What of the guy that left me, even without looking back.
This song makes me feel lonely at heart.
The song kills me, I will never make careless mistakes that will separate me from my petite wife.

A wonderful song that will continue to tell about realities of life and how the man wouldn't want to hurt Mary's feelings. My grandchildren will hear this.
This song is amazing.the worst part is that i listened 2 it when i found out that my boy friend is cheating on me.it brought tears to my eyes and broke my heart and spirit.
i just can help but listen this song over and over again its reminds me of old good days when i was seriously in love with my first love.
nothing on earth could ever compare with this....it's powerful, mind blowin, fantastic....
This is a song ℓ̊ will not stop listening too is a massage of love. ℓ̊ love u̶̲̥̅̊. All

The first day i listen to these music tears was rowing through my chic.where i can get these music?

This is food for the soul. A well of sweet spring, calming the mind, lifting burden and healing soul. I relish it..!
THE IS ONE OF MY BEST OLDIES,IT"S JUST INSPIRING
I've heard of this song some where before on a radio but it didn't really draw my attention cos i hardly understand d lyric. Today i got to listen to it again n straight away downloaded. I admire the imaginary n creativity lines. No doubt its one of d best n ppl will kp luving it. D lyric suggest dat d person is truthful n has genuinely repented from being bad. Now Mary must forgive him though ter is no hint dat she has discarded him as such. Shud bail him out or patiently wait for his term n live happily cos life never ends where it seems.
hello fellas!
well john besii introduced me abt d song....hmn....m gonna tk sm tym to listn it n say wt comes....
first heard d song in grad school.....and after so many years still in love wit it....The things we do for d ones we love....Take a message to mary
heard this piece today in a bank and old memories started playing in my mind. had to search for it on net.
I luv dis song so so much men c lyrics
Only true love understand love when is missing
this song is touchable. Cux it means different tin 2 diferent pple. I love it
Dis song always touch my heart whenever it is been played,...all in d name of love! Wow... Good but sad song...thumbs up Everly brothers!!! Thumbs up!
This song,My mother gave me a CD, in 2004. I would listen to it before sleep, when i wake...etc. I had a portable disc mans. Then the CD got lost. I lost the song, dint even know the title, but just take a message to Mary line...I googled it...wow..got it and downloaded the whole Album...called my mam to listen to it...so happy......!!!
What a song! Makes me fell that one always cherish love when you have lost it & have no hope of getting it back.
I wonder how many 'Mary' out there would ever have the privilege of receiving such a letter or even a phone call from their frontier lads atleast to knw what is going on. No woman ever wishes to be in 'Mary's' shoe. Its so sad to loose the one you love and even more sad to know that there is really nothing you can do to help... I feel sad not only because of your absence but because of the poor, cold, dirty and lonely cell where you are going to pine away...i wish i could undo this! I really wish i can help alleviate ur loneliness and discomfort. (Just keep believing...surely ur life won't end there. I will sing this song daily till u r out. Whatever d case maybe...always remember that I LOVE YOU)
The song reminds me of my younger days how we could gather around my dad's only radio in the evening and listen to sundowners (radio programm on kbc radio-Kenya) i loved the song even though didn't get the words better. Now i know it well.
I love this song the very first day i came across it courtesy of KOLASH. It very emotional
take a message to mary is one of the powerful release of EVERLY BROTHERS, it's full of power, strength and emotion. I love this song,
I must rili comment on dis song, it rili rili grt nd i love it. Ride on
I fel in luv 4 d first time i ea d music i fel like goin to evelasting jail i luv it
Yea, 've gotn it...fenkx...
Gosh! This is so much for the emotional ones, which am one of them. The very first moment i heard this song, u know being an emotional type, i felt weird...though the lyrics luks depressing buh can't just stop loving the song..."Take a message to Mary" and thanks also 4 awesome song, "Bye Bye love" love u, everly brothers. More grease to ur elbow.
Wat an inspiring song, I luv it so...much,it touches d hrt n soul. Oh! Ma God i luv dis. Tanz 2 everly brodas.
It is a message from a broken heart to a woman who was in luv, a woman looking foreward to wearing her wedding gown suddenly her dreams became a total nightmere. It a song of shame, disappointment and heartbreak. I pray it never happened to me.
I really really luv it,.infact am in luv wit d everly brothers,nd also again wit my luving angel diogobabe
Des song make me cry and believed dat there is real lov and wen i tink of it, i say life is good.
this is touching,i just imagine how she(mary)will feel if she hears this massage.i call it a massage not music.
This song takes me back to memory Lane during my school days in the Sixties at Enugu, Nigeria. We used to classify the song as a "Sentimental". That was a local classification for American/European Love songs. This song sprung back to my consciousness when "Timbuktu" came into the news recently. I live in the US now, but this song reminds me of my youth, my childhood friends(girls), and the good old days living in Africa. Long live the Everly Brothers. "Take a message to Mary" is indeed an immortal song.
i was in prim sch wen my dad use 2 play dis song,til 2day i luv d song so much
My first love was called Mary n since i came across this song,my heart sits on a very thin line between love and sorrow.
if mary hapend 2 get dese mesages she's gona realy get mad witout knwin al d mesages were lies.were he says hes searchin 4 gold especialy.he realy loves her.dis songs so emotional an example of real love.i love d song listen 2 it repeatedly.
Take a message to Mary is so soul touching, d 1st day i listened 2 it, i had 2 play it over & over again. Good one there, d Everly brothers.
I read the lyrics of this song with my husy online today and I fell in love with the song . It really touched my heart and made me know what it means to be in love.
Though m young yet I luv oldies songs n country music. In fact, I dnt know da background of this song bt tis is one of the bst song I av ever heard. I lyk it so much tat I used to listn agan n agan.
OH MY GOD! I LOVE THIS MASTER PIERCE OF MISIC ART. WAT A SOUL TOUCHING MESSAGE, WELL ARRANGED BUT LEAVING ENOUGH ROOM FOR A LISTENER FIGURE OUT WHAT A SINGER WITHHELD TO HIMSELF (WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO MARY HAD SHE RECEIVED THE MESSAGE). I LISTENED TO THIS SONG FOR THE FIRST TIME WHILST IN A FOREIGN LAND ON A MILITARY MISSION WHERE LOVERS LOST THEIR PARTNERS. I WAS SO TOUCHED & DEPRESSED EVER SINCE THEN THE SONG IS MY ANTHEM.
i love this song it's really sad n orientating,dnt kwn wat would av hapen to mary if the original msg got to her.
Oh mary mary, poor mary.
Though touching but inspiring. I so much nd cherish this country piece. Oh! Take a message to Mary...

I first heard this song when I was a little boy growing back then in Liberia. Since then I've loved the song. It brings back old memories. Thanks to the original producers.
i love country music so much that i always fall in love with the lyrics when ever a country is been sung but 'take a message to marry' is country music that i found very hard to forget. it makes me feel relaxed whenever i have a little problem with my old dates and probably think of how to get a new aquintance. i am in love with this particular trck!!!!!!!!!!

SAD AND HEARTBREAKING
The frontier lad in d story so much love Mary dat he was willing to make her believe he abandoned her for adventures n wealth(...my ship set sail' n 'I am in search for gold...') rather than let her know he was in a jam, pining away in a cold n lonely cell as a result of an unfortunate accident(...a shot frm a careless gun...). Why did he do dat? Jst to make Mary to forget him n move on with her life.
I can't help but wondered what would Mary have done if he had let her known d truth? Would she have forgiven him n love him till her dying days jst as he would her??
It would have been better if he had let her known d truth n then decides for herself whether to seek a new one to cherish n hold or to love him till her dying days rather than letting her think ill of him.
In all,d song "Take A Message To Mary" is powerful n calls for sober reflection.

Wonderful song, can't stop listening 2 it cos it moves me 2 tears.
Song of wisdom, song of life, a reflection song, oh...what an old fashion'd song, may God bless the everly brothers.
Beautiful song. Nice, touching and sad.Question is: was this.lad so poor he couldn't afford money to marry her, so he went robbing to get the money, marry her and give her the good things of life? If yes, what a sacrifice for love, what a price to pay.for.something so elusive. Was it whorth it all?
Oh my god i really love this song, it touch's my heart deeply
When I entered seccondary school,it was one of the sentimental songs ,I loved so much.The old Songs carry more meaning and melody than the Songs of these days,This Song remains ever Green.

a very interest lyric so sadden and touching
I just finished writing the lyrics. This song brought back memories of the past. It teaches us a lesson. We should avoid mistakes that could cause breakdown in relationships. Old school songs have always been my favorite.
Nice emotional song.....can't stop listening to it since 1992. Luv this lyrics
Though am a guy, I forced mysef to shed tears. I love this powerful heartfelt piece. Am gonna play it to my baby 2moro and to everyone who believes in love!

This song is just hilarious. It touches the deepest end of my soul.
I love music so much that I will always like to imagine what pushes artist to write. since I listened to this song, I ve not laid my hands on the reasons behind the lyrics. I love the song a lot but never wish to be in the shoes of the writer
This the era when music potrays real msg, unlike now when poverty has driven a lot of people to sing meaningles songs.
This the best song of all times. It is really great.
I lv dis song with passion.thumbs up 4 everly brothers
Take a massage to Mary, going through the wording of that song line by line, you will really get something from it. I love it.
What a sorrowful message. Dis story s al abt 2 tortis who use 2 go out 2gada in search of food, until one unfotunate day of one of the tortis dat he ws bn caught by a hunter in d forest, dat d tortis dat was ben caught saw a birth, n send d birth a message 2 his brother teling him how d hunter had sworn 2 kil him, dat his brother shuld nt bother looking 4 him any more, dat he shuld jst pray 4 god 2 take his spirit til dey met again on dat day. It rmind me of my late brother may ur sould rest in perfect peace amem. Til we meet again.
Fell in love with the song the first time I heard it. But each time, I listen to the song again and again, which of course I can't stop, I get sad and thoughtful. Nice beat, nice melody, nice lyric
Take a message to marry, what a wonderful song the lyrics is superb, meaningful and educative, it touches my soul, spirit, and body it shows what love is, this song will last for ever, the first time i listen to this music i was shedding tears i don't know how water started coming from my eyes i feel so bad, worried about both lovers . The writer of this song has done a good job.
I'll make sure wen I get married my kids hear this music....God give me the inspiration to do a song like this!!
soo touching. ............
This country song is one with a difference. It gives me vision when I listens to the lyrics.
Sad! Sad!! Sad!!! What a tears flowing my cheeks
Sad! Sad!! Sad!!! What a tears flowing my cheeks
The very day i had this beatiful and sorrow song,i remembered sorrow death of my love one who got an accident and died on the spots. I got the message from a friend of mine told me after her berrial ,which we never see again and ever. May her soul rest in peace.
Soo sad and cool.
what a great song, it brings mixed feelings in me but i never get bored listening to it#great lyrics.
I listened to this song sometimes 2008 I was just @ this office today the song came to my mind I downloaded it to listen to it again and again it ever green I love the song
The frontier wanted Mary to continue with her life with a positive mind-set. Down memory lane- when I was still in Nursery School.
The frontier was trying to make Mary retain a positive mind-set.
I love this song on d first day I heard it though I don't understood what it means till someone explained it to me. I browse it later and saw the meaning of the song and I was touched and wish someone will love me to this extent. This song has been my message tune for long, so I play it everyday. Thanks to Everly Brothers.
I love this. song.. how I wish it was not a true story it's so sad.......
After successive playing this song 20x in less than an hour, i decided not to play it again. Such A Sad song with strong message. Just when you are working on perfecting your love life, then unexpected happen.
This song makes me feel cold and sober, I just pray the story line is a joke
Indeed one of d best in my list. I 1st hrd it on EBBC Salt 98.1 fm Abakaliki, and i neva wasted a moment bt downloaded it 4rm my device. It's truly Erverly
Dis song z as wonderful as it catches d attn of evry one dat hears it. 10s 2 Salt Fm Abakaliki, d radio station dat made me knw abt it. Okechukwu Nkwegu Oshim from Abakaliki.08032632663
I love this cool song is one of my best country music i have ever listing to, over and over again
I love this cool song is one of my best country music i have ever listing to, over and over again.but so sad and i which is not a true story.
This lyrics is just refer to me ,I think I'm the major character ( Mary) in this song ,its always given me a broken heart when I remember that my fiancé is rusting at Ghana prison since 2012 .I can't help in such situation ,we still love each other so dearly ,my heart is always strong for him ,I believe in Almighty God and his miracles.
this song is wonderful,intresting but sad#
A good song neva gets old. Each tym i play it, any1 dat hears it must lyk it.
My mother thought me this song. It became part of my favorite poll of songs. Makes me remain everly in love with the brothers
I always listen to this song whenever am down.i got the song new and I just love it., this song is very Ok and it has been my favorite I do play it always whenever I felt like everyone has abandoned me.it made me shade tears but I still love it.but I always wounder how Mary felt like ....Oh! this song is making me go crazy
The song will make you think deeply
I swarm deeply into those words and left my future with thought. It so unfortunate that youth will never listen to this, rather they prefer junky music. May God help us!
This is in deed the most amazing love song composition I've ever seen and heard. Greatful to have gained access to the lyrics online. God bless the EVERLY BROTHERS.
a frend tout me dis song in 2013,i googled d lyrics imedetly & i always shed tears weneva am singing d song.
this song is so amazing it make's me think deeply and i listen to my soul not by my ear
This love song is a knockout.. It makes one want to fall in love again again.. The irony of it all,is that Mary may never know what happened to her love, but we the audience, are already wearing Mary's shoes , with deep feeling of faithfulness.. I love this song.
This song depicts a strong feeling of true love, disappointment and heart break. He wouldn't let her know his fate neither will she probably know not know his fate in time to come. His love for her will remain in his heart forever in jail and the sorrow of heart break will torture her for some time to come.
This is one of the most inspirational songs ever sung.
I love this song so much.
This song speaks to the heart that understands the language of real love.
A wonderful love song still living the test of time.
this song is too too melodious,it reminds me that am still single
A movie should be produced based on this song, take a message to mary
What an expression of love! The song "take a message to Mary" is heart touching and, though released in 1959, continues to be contemporary. Congrats to the Everly Brothers
Take a message to Mary is one of the songs that I appreciated when I became a youth. To me, it told the story of the extent a young man can go to get the materials (money especially) to prove his love to a sweetheart. My knowledge of the track coincided with my then watching the blockbuster movie 'The Champ ' in the early 80s.
To date, I still appreciate both works and they, with several songs by the late Barry White like 'Lucille' and 'The Gambler' moulded my personal philosophy.
Take a message to Mary is one of my favorites,I listen to it every morning and night.Its heart touching, despite the strong feeling for love there was disappoinment and heartbreak.
