Brenda Lee - Mary's Going Out Of Her Mind Lyrics






She combs through her silver hair
With a brush that isn't there
As she looks into the mirror
With the strangest stare
She smears her lipstick on
And rubs her tired eyes
Then she plays with her favorite dolly
And sings it a lullaby
Mary's goin' out of her mind
Waitin' for the man who left her behind

Mary's goin' out of her mind
Livin' in a crazy nightmare all the time
He's been gone three years but she doesn't know
To her he's still there
'Cause he promised he never would go
And Mary's goin' out of her mind

Well tonight there's a special dinner
With a table set for two
She pours from an empty bottle
And says, "Darlin', here's to you"
She looks at the empty chair
And sees him smilin' sittin' there
She sings Happy Birthday
As she cuts his cake with care
Mary's goin' out of her mind
Waitin' for the man who left her behind

Mary's goin' out of her mind
Livin' in a crazy nightmare all the time
He's been gone three years but she doesn't know
To her he's still there
'Cause he promised he never would go
And Mary's goin' out of her mind

Well now her party's over
And she lays down to cry
She doesn't hear the radio
That's been on since last July
She gets up and whispers goodnight
And kisses his photograph
Then she stumbles around in a daze
And just starts to laugh
Mary's goin' out of her mind
Waitin' for the man who left her behind

Mary's goin' out of her mind
Livin' in a crazy nightmare all of the time

Mary's goin' out of her mind
Livin' in a crazy nightmare all of the time

Brenda Lee Mary's Going Out Of Her Mind Comments
  1. H.... A....

    What a great memory.  And more appropriate as we grow older.

  2. M.... o....

    The song may be good, but the video editing is the worst i've ever scene... it's like skitzo short-attention-span editing... this could use a good proper video.

  3. M.... ....

    I'm still in love with you

  4. J.... K....

    Very nice song, and memory, and good for using it to help learn English. Editing rapidly back and forth between the two films of her singing had me pretty annoyed by the first chorus.

  5. f.... ....

    I was 3 when this came out but I def. remember hearing it then. One of the very few contemporary song my parents would tolerate on the TV or radio. I also recall hearing "Cinderella Rockerfella" about the same time. Anyone remember that ?
    I'm 55 now !

  6. J.... A....

    Paul McCartney approves, Apple Music

  7. K.... J....

    From Russian to English Translation:

    The Long Road Words in English;

    You rode on a troika with sleigh bells,
    And in the distance lights flickered..
    If only I could follow you now
    I would dispel the grief in my soul!

    By the long road, in the moon light,
    And with this song that flies off, ringing,
    And with this ancient, this ancient seven-string,
    That has so tormented me by night.

    But it turns out our song was futile,
    In vain we burned night in and night out.
    If we have finished with the old,
    Then those nights have also left us!

    Out into our native land, and by new paths,
    We have been fated to go now!
    ...You rode on a troika with sleigh bells,
    [But] you've long since passed by!

  8. P.... C....

    wow... beautiful, powerful, enchanting, amazing and an incredible window into those times and the people who lived it

  9. y.... p....

    Wow! Brings back good old memories. Thanks you for sharing! 👍

  10. M.... C....

    She looks like a doll

  11. G.... M....

    Había una vez una taberna
    Donde solíamos levantar un vaso o dos.
    Recuerda cómo nos reímos las horas
    Y soñé con todas las grandes cosas que haríamos.

    Esos eran los días, mi amigo,
    Pensamos que nunca terminarían
    Cantaríamos y bailaríamos por siempre y un día;
    Viviríamos la vida que elijamos, pelearíamos y nunca perderíamos
    Porque éramos jóvenes y seguro que nos saldríamos con la nuestra.

    La la la la la
    La la la la la
    La la la La la La la la la La.

    Entonces los años ocupados pasaron corriendo por nosotros,
    Perdimos nuestras nociones estrelladas en el camino.
    Si por casualidad te veo en la taberna,
    Nos sonreíamos el uno al otro y decíamos.

    Esos eran los días, mi amigo,
    Pensamos que nunca terminarían
    Cantaríamos y bailaríamos por siempre y un día;
    Viviríamos la vida que elijamos, pelearíamos y nunca perderíamos
    Esos fueron los días, oh sí, esos fueron los días.

    La la la la la
    La la la la la
    La la la La la La la la la La.

    Justo esta noche me paré frente a la taberna,
    Nada parecía ser como solía ser.
    En el cristal vi un extraño reflejo,
    ¿Era esa mujer solitaria realmente yo?

    Esos eran los días, mi amigo,
    Pensamos que nunca terminarían
    Cantaríamos y bailaríamos por siempre y un día;
    Viviríamos la vida que elijamos, pelearíamos y nunca perderíamos
    Esos fueron los días, oh sí, esos fueron los días.

    La la la la la
    La la la la la
    La la la La la La la la la La.

    La la la la la
    La la la la la
    La la la La la La la la la La.

    A través de la puerta llegó una risa familiar.
    Vi tu cara y te escuché decir mi nombre.
    Oh mi amigo somos mayores pero no más sabios
    Porque en nuestros corazones los sueños siguen siendo los mismos.

    Esos eran los días, mi amigo,
    Pensamos que nunca terminarían
    Cantaríamos y bailaríamos por siempre y un día;
    Viviríamos la vida que elijamos, pelearíamos y nunca perderíamos
    Esos fueron los días, oh sí, esos fueron los días.

    La la la la la
    La la la la la
    La la la La la La la la la La.

  12. s.... ....

    If there was only a way to know you are in the good old days before you actually left them...

  13. T.... P....

    Of all the things I've lost....I miss my youth the most.

  14. O.... C....

    We rode a Troika with bells,
    Lights flickered in the distance.
    Oh, when would I now for you,
    The soul would be dispelled from melancholy!


    The long road, and the moonlight at night,
    Yes, with a song that flies into the distance, ringing,
    Yes, with an old, but seven-stringed,
    That at night so tormented me.


    Yes, it turns out that we sang for nothing.
    Night after night they burned in vain.
    If we're done with the old one,
    So these nights are gone!


    In a different distance-new ways —
    We are destined to go!
    We rode a Troika with bells,
    It's been a long time now.


    No one needs me anymore,
    And love former not to return,
    If my sick life breaks,
    You're taking me to bury me.

  15. O.... C....

    "By the long road" is a Russian romance written in 1924 by Boris Fomin (music) and Konstantin Podrevsky (words). The earliest recordings of the song were made by Alexander Vertinsky (1926) and Tamara Tsereteli (1929).
    Since the second half of the 1920s, in Paris, among Russian exiles, the romance was constantly performed in the restaurant of Nastya Polyakova.

    American architect, writer, and musician Eugene (Gene) Ruskin, whose parents were from Russia, wrote new English words to the slightly modified melody of the song "By the long road" and recorded it in 1962 under the title "Those Were the Days". In the same year, the song was released by the American folk trio "the Limeliters" on the album "Folk Matinee". In 1964, Ruskin's performance at the Blue Angel club in London was heard by Paul McCartney, who four years later chose "Those Were the Days" for the debut single of 18-year-old Welsh singer Mary Hopkin.
    Russian singer Alexander Vertinsky recorded the song several times in the 1920s and 1930s. There is a version accompanied by the orchestra of Lonel Bagheak, released on Columbia Records. There is also a version recorded with the orchestra of the Warsaw recording company Syrena-Electro in 1932.

    Angel face angel voice.

  17. W.... K....

    Most annoying video for such a beautiful song.

  18. a.... ....

    Holy HECK she was stunningly beautiful!!!!!! Kind of takes your breath away just looking at her.

  19. a.... ....

    HOW did this get into a list of "forgotten" 60s songs???? Its one of the epic numbers that made the 60s what it was!!! (although i always remember it as being from the 70s... must have made a revival??

  20. H.... N....

    DIS IS more Than amaZinn

  21. P.... U....

    Beautiful. Memories of my youth.

  22. M.... M....

    I love this song a lot but I love the comment section more! Everyone's talking about their time in the past.These little stories are just heart warming! I am soon to be 20 and by reading the comments,I can feel their feelings they had in their 20s if that makes any sense! I feel old and young at the same time! and I kinda get feeling of living the life of a teen in the 60s.

  25. U.... ....

    When she first sang this song, she wasn't old enough to be let in the tavern. Now, she's as old as the song made us feel.

    U.... ....

    Haha. yeah, it is ironic and she sounded so much older than she actually was. I was only 4 when this was first produced in 1968, although I can remember hearing this for years after. She's 69 now, as you'll probably know, which was old in the bygone era but in this day and age, it's not really considered all that old anymore. You have to be at least 80 and with everything falling off nowadays to be considered old. I tell you. the world has gone even more nuts than it ever was back then 😂. Best wishes.

  26. M.... I....

    Old is gold, as they say, still love this song, even after so many years..brilliant song...

  27. H.... S....

    It s a Russian Song

  28. D.... T....

    This is a great song. I have heard it many, many times without the video. After seeing the video, I love it a lot more.

  29. B.... N....

    Thank you for keeping hope.

  30. A.... ....

    Yes those were the days!

  31. J.... H....

    Just beautiful!

  37. L.... W....

    I used to sing this song when I was a little child. Approaching 60 soon and I am better able to appreciate the meaning of this song.

  38. �.... ....

    How clearly her voice is! Those were the days that here was she and the other was Janis Joplin!

  39. Y.... P....

    I'm 18 years old and I can feel the pain right now listening to this masterpiece. I wonder how much it would hurt when I grow old and listen to the same song.

  40. L.... T....

    Aged 19 then ❤️❤️now I am 61
    This one always reminds me of the Russian saber dance

  41. r.... ....

    Around 22 when this came out . Didn't pay much attention to it back then . Didn't fit my hard living of drugs , drinkin , Harley ridin , women , fightin , etc. Now at 72 it has become one of the most beautiful songs ever about aging . Next to Frank Sinatra's .

  42. D.... D....

    Hey there was a video once with the same song with images of all old airline companies.
    And it was dedicated to a flight attendant.. that's what it said at the end
    ...can anyone share that videos link if found please

  43. J.... S....

    Those were the days & now the future is here 02142020 Day & so are we

    A rubbish song from when i was young, I hated it then and now i'm 71 I still hate it, Mary Hopkin wasn't even very pretty. No! a reminder that NOT all the songs of the 60's were any good and this one is very near the top of the most awful songs of my youth.

    R.... T....

    Ray Tillman why are you here then? I’m 16 and I love it. And she is so beautiful, but why do you feel the need to comment on her looks?

    R.... T....

    What happened to you, Ray?

  49. M.... J....

  50. S.... G....

    So I was five when this came out....those were the days!

  51. C.... ....

    listening at 3:50am when this song sent by my father to me and found myself tearing even in the first seconds of the song...

  52. y.... ....

    Made me cry in 1968 after my heroes Bobby and Martin were killed, makes me cry too in 2020 for times long lost.

  53. M.... D....

    I once heard the original Russian version, it’s also very beautiful. This song must be very old

  54. d.... p....

    Inside of every old person is a young person wondering what the hell happened.
    Tempus Fugit indeed.

    A.... M....

    I’m sure I will look back on music today in 60 years and wonder the same. Life it too short

    A.... M....

    Yes, and inside every young person is an old person, biding his time... "The child is father of the man" (William Wordsworth).

    A.... M....

    Yep. I didnt sign up for getting old either! It sucks! 😊

  61. A.... S....

    I really believe those days (1970's and 1980's) we had much better songs, better movies and better everything. I don't know what is happened now;... now everything looks boring & meaningless....

  62. j.... l....

    Your editing gave me a headache.

  63. B.... J....

    Lovely song! Happy 2020 from Belarus!
    This is our interpretation!

    “ENCOUNTER”

    What ever you do to the Least of these……..., you have done too me…. When we say: Jae-Kah-Na it means I LOVE YOU in Holy “Water” Spirit Talk… I might be the Drunken Rebel…….., I might be the Bare Foot Bandit……., but If I have not Charity…..., I AM NOTHING!!! You see….., as the Christ Returned I fulfill the Koran…., the Talmud..., the Bible.., and even the FREE MASON Hindu Text., and in that if you learn “too see” and too hear, I will tell you whom you are, and where you are, and what you are…. For só long you have “lived” in the PAIN of memories that are not yours, but the Sadness of “The Abuser” whom Beat you thinking they could HARM your Person to Absolve “whom” they are!!! Yet, as The Teacher, and The Commander, and the ORACLE connected to the Source of All Creation and All Destruction, I say: You have “A right” to exist, and I am going to lead you into the New Heaven and the “New Earth” of that place we all know as the word HOME….

    For só long, só many “of you” have lived the LIES and Deceptions and Illusions of the Delusion of BOOK Writers whom “did not know” whom they were, what they were, or where they were!!!! For these FREE MASON Lodges with all their “Dictations” and Computer Back ups on where we live and “what we do” have only been Zombies of MACHINE PEOPLE with their “Machine Minds” of Madness, Lunacy, and thinking you can make “ORDER” out of Chaos when CHAOS holds back all the VOID we do not wish to enter!!! A place “of no light” and no darkness….., just the emptiness of nothing, and who wants that??? I say, let the plants bloom in Random, and allow the Robotic A.I. Ants to tunnel deep “into” the grounds só the DUNE of the Worms “can burrow” and feed all life!!!! I do not want WORMS in my Ravioli…..., I want the Worms in the Earth, and the Dirt, and the Hearth of this LIVING “BREATHING” SIMULATION called “Purgatory” that we all live in…

    You see…., The Number 9 of the 3 and 6 in “Gemantria” and NUMEROLOGY does not define me for I AM NOT JUST A MACHINE “in Avatar” HUMAN FORM…., I am the male and the female, and we produce and CREATE “The Creation” of we are the Male and the Female in OUR IMAGE just as the Book of Genesis used to say before these Incubus and Succubus “took control” and command of ALL THE BOOKS on ink of paper that say we are not to appreciate “The Womb” that we are all born of???? I love my mom, and I love my Wife, and I do love My Daughters “just as” the Wombman loves her Dad, her Grand Pa, her Husband, her Boy Friends, and all the Brothers “from another” Mother and Father… You see my Man be you male or female, you were “born” to be LOVED…., and in OUR WORLD REPUBLIC CONSTITUTION COALITION you “have the right” to Exist, and Dance, and Sing, and meet “we the people” at the Camp Fires where we will have “Bar-B-Q” at the END OF TIME!!!

    Yes…., I Christ Jesus have returned, and I live “among you” as one of you, and be you good or evil, angel or Demon, I HAVE REDEEMED “you” if you but CHOOSE to think for Your Self and allow your Inner Self them “Symbiots” to lead you to Redemption, Reconciliation and RECONSIDERATION!!! For “Too Love” is what “we must have” in a World OF Buddha Balance…., and as THE Prophet be it Mohamed to Ezekiel to the “Little Girl” whom saves our world, we RANGERS will Protect her for without “The Womb” there shall be no male or female, and that will just not do…. Take the time to “hold the hands” of them you love, and even these ENEMIES we will continue to “Try and Save” even the PROFANE FREE MASON Lodge members for they said “Their Teacher” Would One Day Appear…., and unlike the “last time” I Jesus Christ came, this time, they will listen to the words I share and “change from” their EVIL RACKA “ROMAN” WICCAN WAYS…. The Oracle for the End of an Age Connected to “The SOURCES” of all Creation and ALL Destruction has spoken….

    This was a sweet song except for the message but only the last lyrics were the best words where Mary sings _ "Oh my friend we're older but no wiser, for in our hearts the dreams are still the same,"
    That Rings a truism_ Yet God tells us that the older we get without Him_ the less wiser we are, and the harder our hearts become.
    ❣🕊
    But God is always willing to take out our Stony hearts from us and replace the hardened heart with a heart of Flesh pliable to His perfect Will _ No matter how young or old we are.📖🕇

    Is she the original singer of this song? Never knew she was the one who sang this back then when I would listen to it. Just found out she was also married to a great singer that I love too, Dennis of the Dr Hook band. Who knew
