Bruce Springsteen - Mary Queen Of Arkansas Lyrics
Mary queen of Arkansas, it's not too early for dreamin'
The sky is grown with cloud seed sown and a bastard's love can be redeeming
Mary, my queen, your soft hulk is reviving
No, you're not too late to desecrate, the servants are just rising
I've been a shine boy for your acid brat and a wharf rat of your state
Mary, my queen, your blows for freedom are missing
You're not man enough for me to hate or woman enough for kissing
The big top is for dreamers, we can take the circus all the way to the border
And the gallows wait for martyrs whose papers are in order
But I was not born to live to die, and you were not born for queenin'
It's not to late to infiltrate, the servants are just leavin'
Mary queen of Arkansas, your white skin is deceivin'
But on your bed, Mary, I can see the shadow of a noose
I don't understand how you can hold me so tight and love me so damn loose
But I know a place where we can go, Mary
Where I can get a good job and start out all over again clean
I got contacts deep in Mexico where the servants have been seen

Bruce Springsteen Mary Queen Of Arkansas Comments
His worst song. Just a musical disaster.
I don’t know how you can hold me so tight and love me so loose
Springsteen never fails to defecate. #ShitSong #ThisSongIsShit
McGulag's LLC How? You could elaborate your bullshit opinion, instead of just giving your bullshit opinion.
There's no reason for him to elaborate to anyone with ears. It's obvious.
James Valvis saying that doesn't make your argument valid, at all
@Slingermon Yay It doesn't make it invalid either.
Its not too late to defecate. This song is crap.
Agreed 100%
Disagreed 100%
possibly my fave bruce track, and the studio version is the best of all
Heard this song for the 1st time today and love it. I was a teenager in the 80's and don't see how they didn't play more of this stuff.
life. love.
en of Arkansas, it's not too early for dreamin'
The sky is grown with cloud seed sown and a bastard's love can be redeeming
Mary, my queen, your soft hulk is reviving
No, you're not too late to desecrate, the servants are just rising
Well, I'm just a lonely acrobat, the live wire is my trade
I've been a shine boy for your acid brat and a wharf rat of your state
Mary, my queen, your blows for freedom are missing
You're not man enough for me to hate or woman enough for kissing
The big top is for dreamers, we can take the circus all the way to the border
And the gallows wait for martyrs whose papers are in order
But I was not born to live to die, and you were not born for queenin'
It's not to late to infiltrate, the servants are just leavin'
Mary queen of Arkansas, your white skin is deceivin'
You wake and wait to lie in bait and you almost got me believin'
But on your bed, Mary, I can see the shadow of a noose
I don't understand how you can hold me so tight and love me so damn loose
But I know a place where we can go, Mary
Where I can get a good job and start out all over again clean
I got contacts deep in Mexico where the servants have been seen
This song is a heat wave of feelings...
So pure. So riduculously Springsteen pure. Just beautiful.
Love this song. The demo version that appeared later on Tracks was simply stunning.
Always preferred the first two albums when he was a cross between Bob Dylan and Van Morrison.
WOW...LOVE...NYC transplant to NJ for all teenage years...now I'm 54 and the light has not diminished....Thank you Mr.Bruce & Mr. Southside Johnny, too...jeanne
Superb song. If I bought Greetings From Asbury Park, NJ in 1973 (wasn't alive back then so I couldn't) I would have immediately become a fan.
