Lyrics:
She stands at the window, proud Mary, bad news
Demands, full credit, and the sheriff's men too
The wife of a fisherman no longer at sea
She can always find him where whiskey flows free
She never called it poverty, the doorstep is clean
'Til cityhall came calling to show what it means
Chorus:
Have you seen it before?
The names of good women and men
Decreed by the sword and the pen
To be outlaws all over again
The names in the churchyard are long overgrown
But still she comes kneeling with flowers of her own
They're watching you, Mary, in hard times afraid
As council finds guilty for charges unpaid
And even as your last hope is labeled and sown
We're all the one, Mary, outlawed for good
(Chorus)
And even as your last hope is labeled and sown
We're all the one, Mary, outlawed for good
(Chorus 2x)
