Story behind the song

Story of how I received my 1st guitar. A tribute to "Mary Bell Hendrickson"

Lyrics

Verse 1:      Mary lived right up the road.
                     When I was a kid I'd go.
                     just to sit and visit for awhile
.
                     Always had her apron on. 
                     she would smile and sing a song
                     There was always something she had made

Verse2:          One day Marys brother came.
                      Had a guitar in a case
.                     Said that Mary wanted me to play
                      
                      Lately Marys been real sick.
                      Wanted you to have this gift
                      Few days later Mary passed away..

Chorus:           Through all the years and all the songs I've played,
                       I will never forget the gift she gave
                       And sometimes when I'm playing all alone,
                       I can hear Mary singing softly, along.
                       I can hear Mary singing softly, along.

Verse:             50 years have come and gone.
                       Since I learned to pick a song.
                       On the Red Guitar that Mary gave.

                       Preached the Gospel on these strings.
                       Sometimes Mary sang with me.
                       You should see the Crown that she wears.
             
Chorus:             Through all the years and all the songs I've played.
                        I will never forget the gift she gave.
                        And sometimes when I'm playing all alone.
                        I can hear Mary singing softly along,
Chorus:.                   
                        Through all the years and all the songs I've played.
                         I will never forget the gift she gave.
                         And sometimes when I'm playing all alone.
                         I can hear Mary singing softly along.
                         I can hear Mary singing softly along.
