Mary Jane

A song written in anticipation of moving to Atlanta, Georgia from Virginia Beach, Virginia. I know my name is not Mary. But "Danny boy left Virginia, babe, but better, better days are on their way" just doesn't have the same ring, does it?
Lyrics
She has gone away She has gone away When you coming ‘round? I’m begging you! When you come around I’ll beg you too. You have gone away And my heart goes with you Mary Jane left Virginia Seeking better days Now she’s down in Georgia She’s so far away Mary Jane left Virginia babe but better Better days are on their way She’s got a way of seeing (being) Mary Jane you’re a crazy lady, baby Cold and alone When you coming home? Dry as a bone When you coming home? I’m begging you. When you coming home? I’m begging you. You have gone away And my heart left with you Mary Jane left Virginia Seeking better days Now she’s down in Georgia She’s so far away Mary Jane left Virginia babe but better Better days are on their way She’s got a way of seeing (being) Mary Jane you’re a crazy lady, baby
Recording Notes
I loved recording this song. Djembe was fun, harmonies felt great. Look forward to redoing this again.
