Have You Seen My Mary - Gregory Isaacs

I’m a lonely soldier, many miles from home

With a heart that’s heavy, and with a will that’s strong

Behind, i left a woman, so, so dear to me

Now i’m off to fight a war that they say would make me free

I’m a lonely soldier, i’m a lonely soldier

I’m a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely soldier (yes, i am)

So won’t somebody have mercy on me

Nice little son call junior, smiling but with sympathy

All confused he asked a question, he said, «daddy, why must this war be?»

I tried so very hard, yes i did, so very hard i tried to explain.

yeah!

But it seems that all i ever been trying, lord, it all seems to be in vain

You know lord, i’m tired of hearing people crying

Lord, i’m tired of seeing people dying

But i promise i wait very patiently

For that sweet voice of liberty

An non.

yeah!

I’m tired of seeing people dying…
