sweet lady Mary has to rest her poor head
wakes in the morning with her breakfast in bed
I tried to help her but I did not know how
I tried to love her but it's all over now
nothing left to comfort me, except a sunny day
steal away, steal away
over the stones along the dusty old road
with every footstep one more tale is told
with every turning one more side to see
sweet lady Mary's seen the last of me

I'll steal away, steal away
I think I'll go back home and start all again
where the Gulf Stream waters tend to ease the pain
and on a new day when I've mended the wound
sweet lady Mary's gate I swear I'll be bound
but before I sit down again and waste anymore of your time
I better steal away, steal away
