She say to hurry home 
I need you right away
I've got a   made full of love
And I'm all alone
Hurry today

Sweet Mary I'm coming home
Coming home to you
Sweet Mary I'm coming home

Sweet Mary in that letter to me
It's up to you
I need you right away
And now I got to hop a freight
Get me home by dawn
I got to sleep

Sweet Mary I'm coming home
Coming home to you
Sweet Mary I'm coming home

Sweet mary has a smile on her face
You know she's hapy to see me
Rather anyway
I only hope that the passing of time
She'll always feel that way
I won't pack up my dreams

Coming home to you
