ODE TO MARY

Lyrics for ODE TO MARY

Ooh Ode to Mary, free spirits Free truth My mama pinned a rose on me I went to see, I went to see, I went to see (To see, to see) Mary Lou Williams played Scorpio Ran 'em keys back inside the piano Free spirits, free spirits Free truth, free in the air So sharp, so sharp Be sharp, so sharp So sharp they bleed My mama pinned a rose on me My mama pinned a rose on me I went to see, I went to see, I went to see (I went to see) Ode to Mary, ode to Mary (free spirits) Free truth Free in the air So sharp, be sharp So sharp So sharp they bleed My mama pinned a rose on me My mama pinned the rosary My mama pinned the rose on me (ode to Mary) Ode to Mary, (oh) yeah, (ode to Mary) ode to Mary My mama pinned a rose on me My mama pinned the rosary (ode to Mary) My mama pinned the rosary I went to see, I went to see Mary Lou Williams (I went to see) ode to Mary Took me to his grandmother's house And I prayed at least 11 months before I came back to America I cancelled all my work and everything and I began praying for at least ten years straight Off and on, Daizy Gillespie, he's such a wonderful guy He'd call me to go out on gigs with him And I'd go back in the house and pray again, you know?
