Philip Melancon - Knockin' On Mary's Door lyrics

Mary was a debutante of New Orleans A bubbly girl of McGhee She mastered Mardi Gras, danced the Carnival But what she really loved was the ball Oklahoma troopers just back from Iraq Hadn't seen a girl in a year So when they felt an itchin' Where mosquitos hadn't bitten They are knocking on Mary's door Now Mary gave those cowboys's something to see The likes never seen in Muscogee Their hats blew off their crew cuts Where she served up the cold cuts Now she's their favorite MRE Mary was a debutante of New Orleans A bubbly girl of McGhee She mastered Mardi Gras, danced the Carnival But what she really loved was the ball Navy boys from Carolina but nothing could be finer Than Bourbon Street in the wee hours of the morning They had to be discreet to avoid the MPs So they were knocking on Marry's door.
