Pretty Mary K (Other Version)

Pretty Mary K walks along the dock

With some sailor's pay shoved down in her sock

Pretty Mary K with some little boy in blue

Who can't stay away from you

Pretty Mary K took him back to town

I'm down here by the bay where the water pounds

Up against the wall crying black and blue

He keeps me away from you

Pretty words that you whispered

Maybe I misunderstood

Somebody's not paying attention

What they promise and their word isn't good

Oh, Mary K, I can see your face

Down there in the waves, painted and erased

But I know it's just a reflection of the moon

A big fake resembling you

I'm gonna go down in the water

Fill my mouth up full of sand

I'll be waiting, still impatient with my dead imagination

While you're with some other man

Pretty Mary K is off in somebody's room

I'm down here by the bay, my arm around the moon

But I'll be with you soon, just as soon as I've paid

A walk across the water with pretty Mary K

Walk on water, pretty Mary K
