Roger Cook - Tucumcari Mary lyrics

Tucumcari Mary – stole my heart away Tucumcari Mary, gonna' marry her some day I met her on a trip out west, pa**ing through New Mexico Pulled off the highway for a rest, saw a poster for a rodeo She was the queen of the rodeo, pretty as she could be Wearing her sash and cowgirl hat, she sure looked good to me Tucumcari Mary – stole my heart away Tucumcari Mary, gonna' marry her some day Well, she could rope and she could ride, Tucumcari's pride But when she rode that bull for 8, the crowd couldn't believe their eyes Then she mistook me for an ex-boyfriend, roped and hog-tied me Pulled me around that arena for a while, before she set me free Tucumcari Mary – stole my heart away Tucumcari Mary, gonna' marry her some day When she realized her mistake, she was sorry as she could be She helped me up and dusted me off and said these words to me Well, I'd like to make it up to you, I know I had no right If you'll wait 'til the sun goes down, I'll show you 'round town tonight We ended up at the local truck stop, drank coffee until 2 Shared the stories of our lives before she said adieu Now all I have is a rodeo poster with her smiling face Taped right here on my dashboard ---- I'll never forget that place Tucumcari Mary – stole my heart away Tucumcari Mary, gonna' marry her some day Stole my heart away Gonna' marry her someday
