The Ballad of Mary Magdalen

Lyrics Karaoke

My name is Mary Magdalene I come from Palestine Please excuse these rags I'm in But I've fallen on hard times but Long ago I had my work When I was in prime But I gave it up and all for love It was his career or mine Jesus loved me this I know Why on earth did I ever let him go He was always faithful He was always kind But he walked off with this heart of mine A love like this comes but once This I do believe And I'll not see his like again As I live and breathe and I'm sorry if I might offend But I will never see How the tenderness I shared with him Became a heresy Jesus loved me this I know Why on earth did I ever let him go He was always faithful He was always kind But he walked off with this heart of mine I remember nights we spent Whispering our creed Our rituals our sacrament The stars our canopy There beneath an olive tree We'd offer up our plea God's creation innocent His arms surrounding me Jesus loved me this I know Why on earth did he ever have to go He was always faithful He was always kind But he walked off with this heart of mine He was always faithful he was always kind But he walked off with this heart of mine
