Heinz Hoffmann - MARY JANE BLUES Lyrics

Her name was Mary Jane
She gave me comfort sometime
I feel a bit ashamed
Cause nowadays it’s just a crime
It’s many years ago I took her
And all I know I felt so fine

When people talk about her
Their eyes are filled with shades of fear
They have to calm down soon
It helps to drink a lot of beer
And when they’ve finished their procedure
I have to watch them from the rear

When I was on the road
And Mary Jane was by my side
She said, „Put down your heavy load.“
Then she took me out for a ride
„No matter what those people say,
Sweet little boy got nothing to hide.“

We tried to settle down
In my home county one day
When we got into town
The sky turned into dirty grey
Though we only got little money
They took it all and we could not stay

One mad day she had gone
And left me there all alone
She went without a word
Not even called me on the phone
We had had a good time then
But now my heart has turned to stone.

Her name was Mary Jane
She gave me comfort sometime
I feel a bit ashamed
Cause nowadays it’s just a crime
It’s many years ago I took her
And all I know I felt so fine
