sweet Sweet lady Mary has to rest her poor head
wakesWakes in the morning with her breakfast in bed
I tried to help her but I did not know how
I tried to love her but it's all over now
nothing
Nothing left to comfort me, except a sunny day
stealSteal away, steal away
overOver the stones along the dusty old road
withWith every footstep one more tale is told
withWith every turning one more sight side to see
sweetSweet lady Mary's seen the last of me
a
A lesson is learnt, I'll never come this way again
I'll steal away, steal away
herHer Spanish habits are so hard to forget
theThe lady lied with every breath I accept
wasWas a matter of time before my face did not fit
I knew all along I'd have to quit
anyway
Anyway now, I better not waste anymore of your time
I'll steal away, steal away

I think I'll go back home and start all again
whereWhere the Gulf Stream gulf stream waters tend to ease the pain
andAnd on a new day when I've mended the wound
sweetSweet lady Mary's gate I swear I'll be bound
but
But before I sit down again and waste anymore of your time
I better steal away, steal away
steal away-aySteal away
