I know someday very soon You are going to go You hid away your walking shoes Your loss would hurt me so Well put them on and lace them up You need to understand I was only fooling Mary Ann There's an old hazy moon Floating through July Alone in an open field I thought I'd soon die Well I shivered till the sun came up Till you took my hand I was only fooling Mary Ann I was only fooling When I said be my wife Fooling when I thanked God That you'd come into my life Forever and a day I'd love you You didn't understand I was only fooling Mary Ann
