‘Oh, Miss
Mary’ is on The Kinston Trio album “College Concert”, Capitol
Records 1962, CD re-release together with the The KT album “Close Up”
by Collector´s Choice, 2000, and on the Bear Family Records box set "The
Stewart Years", 2000.
There weren´t so many gals that took to wanderin´ back in ´62 – good for Mary that she did.
Sounds good when you play the song alone, sounds
better when you have friends over who can help you out on the chorus!
(G) (Am)
(B7) (C) (D) (G) (D7)
(G) Oh, Miss (Am)Mary,
(G) where are you wanderin'?
(Am) Oh, Miss (D)Mary, (G) where are
you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss (C)Mary, (B7) where are you (Em)wande(C)rin'?
(G) Three days and (Am)Mary's (D)comin' (G)home. (D7)
When (G)Mary was a (Am)young girl (G) she took to wanderin',
(Am) Never would she (D)leave me (G) and not
come back again.
Swear I hear her (C)singing,
(B7)singing in the (C)western
wind,
(G) Three days and (Am)Mary's (D)comin' (G)home. (D7)
(G) Oh, Miss (Am)Mary,
(G) where are you wanderin'?
(Am) Oh, Miss (D)Mary, (G) where are
you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss (C)Mary, (B7) where are you (Em)wande(C)rin'?
(G) Three days and (Am)Mary's (D)comin' (G)home. (D7)
(G)Mary chased a (Am)rainbow
(G) over the mountains,
(Am)Crossed so many (D)rivers, Lord, (G)
that I can't count ´em.
She wouldn't want those (C)rainbows
(B7)even if she (C)found
them,
(G) Three days and (Am)Mary's (D)comin' (G)home. (D7)
(G) Oh, Miss (Am)Mary,
(G) where are you wanderin'?
(Am) Oh, Miss (D)Mary, (G) where are
you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss (C)Mary, (B7) where are you (Em)wande(C)rin'?
(G) Three days and (Am)Mary's (D)comin' (G)home. (D7)
(G)Watchin' for my (Am)Mary,
(G) wish she were home again,
(Am)Home from the (D)rivers, Lord, (G) home
from the mountains.
If I turned my (C)back,
say, (B7)she'd just be (C)gone
again,
(G) Three days and (Am)Mary's (D)comin' (G)home. (D7)
(G) Oh, Miss (Am)Mary,
(G) where are you wanderin'?
(Am) Oh, Miss (D)Mary, (G) where are
you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss (C)Mary, (B7) where are you (Em)wande(C)rin'?
(G) Three days and (Am)Mary's (D)comin' (G)home. (D7)
(G) Oh, Miss (Am)Mary,
(G) where are you wanderin'?
(Am) Oh, Miss (D)Mary, (G) where are
you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss (C)Mary, (B7) where are you (Em)wande(C)rin'?
(G) Three days and (Am)Mary's (D)comin',
(G) Three days and (Am)Mary's (D)comin',
(G) Three days and (Am)Mary's (D)comin' (G)home. (D7)(G)
