Goodnight Mary
(words by Brian kious, music by Randall Belt and Brian Kious)


Goodnight Mary, go to sleep
Goodnight Mary, go to sleep
Your day is done
You drift as light as the down you lay on
Goodnight Mary, go to sleep

Turn off the lights and close the door
Just like you did the night before
Who do you dream of kissing?
Your flannel gown goes missing,
No, I see it on the floor!

Goodnight Mary, go to sleep
Goodnight Mary, go to sleep
Your day is done
You drift as light as the down you lay on
Goodnight Mary, go to sleep

Windows are closed and curtains drawn
And they won't be open until dawn
What would the pastor say if he should come walking this way
And sees our shadows on the lawn

Goodnight Mary, go to sleep
Goodnight Mary, go to sleep
Your day is done
You drift as light as the down you lay on
Goodnight Mary, go to sleep

Your daddy's gone to Texarkan'
Your mama knows you got a man
She ain't saying nothing
Ain't nothing wrong with loving
Might as well get it while you can!

Goodnight Mary, go to sleep
Goodnight Mary, go to sleep
Your day is done
You drift as light as the down you lay on
Goodnight Mary, go to sleep
