Lyrics
Resurrection Mary
Written by Beth McKee and ti Kelliher
One cold Chicago night, so the story goes
She left the O’Henry Ballroom, walking home alone
They found her lying peacefully on the wrong side of the road
Straight to Resurrection wasn’t too far to go
On the highway to Justice, where her vision roams
Always in a party dress and a gossamer coat
She’ll put her hand out, beckoning with her eyes
Many have lived the legend taking her for a ride
Resurrection Mary, dancing all night long
At the feet of Jesus, in the shadows till dawn
So pretty and young, wide-eyed and tough
Till everything went wrong
Resurrection Mary, why don’t you come on home?
Many long years we mourned her, her father and I
Now we all share the family plot, and she slips out every night
Resurrection Mary, dancing all night long
At the feet of Jesus, in the shadows till dawn
So pretty and young, wide-eyed and tough
Till everything went wrong
Resurrection Mary, why don’t you come on home?
