mary owned a corner store
sold cigarettes and pie
chocolate bars to little kids
whole wheat bread and rye
mary owned a corner store
the screen door had a bell
she stole it from the neighbors cow
but no one would ever tell
mary had a corner store
mary liked her rum
blind drunk by 10 every day
stone cold drunk by one
a stranger once came into town
and into mary's store
cracked a joke about her afterwards
he don't come round no more
mary is an alcoholic
mary is a drunk
mary lost her little boy
to some ass hole in a truck
mary cries between customers
staring at a stolen cow bell
and if she ever made a slight request
she'd get the cow as well
