I take a trip every evening Strolling down memory lane I'm walkin' again those old familiar paths And dreaming those dreams again And I can always see my sweetheart Just as she used to be Waiting for someone at the garden gate And I know that someone is me Big brown eyes and curly hair Can't you tell that's Mary Rosy cheeks and ruby lips Can't you tell that's Mary Ofttimes in the evenings we'd go strolling Hand in hand together beneath the pepper tree And I can feel her hand in mine as I sit alone tonight Dreaming of the hours I've spent with Mary Ofttimes in the evenings we'd go strolling Hand in hand together beneath the pepper tree And I can feel her hand in mine as I sit alone tonight Dreaming of the hours I've spent with Mary
