Description
An everyday domestic tragedy posted in January, wrecked by my lack of vocal range, now magically transformed by the great Rebsie.

Lyrics
Mary was a till girl at the Woolworth's store
Got pregnant by the man next door
He was married to her best friend Sue
Sue don't speak to her no more
The man who lived next door split up with Sue
Mary thought that she stood half a chance
The man who lived next door just laughed at her
said I'm not lookin for romance
The river is deep
The river is wide
Let's all jump in in the water tonight
Her friend Sue moved into a council flat
Mary walked down by the river side
She thought about the man who lived next door
She sat down on the bank and cried
The river is deep
The river is wide
Let's all jump in in the water and die
Mary had a handsome boy and named him Sam
When Sam grew up he loved to drink and dance
Sam bet some money on a horse one day
He thought that he stood half a chance
The river is deep
The river is wide
Let's all jump in in the water and die
Sam took the money and he bought a gun
Some nights he found it hard to sleep
Sometimes a river's just a shallow stream
Sometimes a river's dark and deep
The river is deep
The river is wide
Let's all jump in in the water and die
Sue became barmaid at the rose and crown
Mary is still working on the till
The man next door's next door to heaven now
Sam' has a cell in Pentonville
The river is deep etc.

A bit of the alright there Rebsie! Mando is that you on
harmony. Sounds great whoever it is. The mandolin
playing is sounding so great these days. Do I detect
practice? The electric guitar is not bad either. Has a better
tone than before. I think this is radio ready and 9's.
