Lyrics:
He Asked Me

 

© 2010 by Mary Crowell.

He asked me “Mary, are you happy?”
“Why do you always look so sad?”
I said, “Papa, don’t know.
“I’m feeling old,
And god, it just hurts so bad.”

He asked, me “Mary, where you going?
“I tend to worry you’ll be poor.
“Write a CV or
A resume
Your future good to assure.

CHORUS:

I got to write more songs
The only thing that keeps me sane
Keeps my mind, where it belongs
‘Stead of dwelling on the rain.

[Instrumental on verse chord changes]

CHORUS

He asked me “Mary, are you happy?”
“’Cause I think I might be sad.”
I said, “Papa, you know
“We’re feeling old,
And god, it just hurts so bad.”

He told me, “Mary, girl you know I love you,”
“’Want to know you won’t be sad.”
I said, “Papa I know
“We’re getting old,
And god, I just love my Dad.
”And god, I just love my Dad.
”And god, I just love my Dad.

”He asked me “Mary, are you happy ”
