Red Simpson - I'm Turnin' In My Star Lyrics

Mary oh Mary where can you be
Mary oh Mary I wish you were here with me

Mary said that she loved me but could never be my wife
As long as I wore a gun and a star she was afraid I'd lose my life
Said she couldn't stand the sorrow if with death I should meet
From some gangster's bullet on sun deserted street

She told me that her father had died not long ago
And that he had worked for the law for twenty years or so
And she saw her mother's sorrow when they gave her the bad news
That he'd been killed in the line of duty by a crowler on the loose

Mary oh Mary where can you be...

Then last night I chased the speeding car that was coming through our town
I turned on my lights and sirene but they wouldn't slow down
Then I saw a flash of gunsmoke and I began to fall
And then I thought of Mary and that's all that I recall

I see an angel at my side am I at heaven's gate
But the angel she is crying wait a minute that's Mary's face
And then I hear her whisper I love you
And if you still want me then I will marry you

Mary oh Mary I wanna be where you are
Mary oh Mary I'm turnin' in my star
