Coe, David Allan - Maria Is A Mystery Lyrics






Maria has a music box she winds up most every day
Once a week is all it takes to make the music play
Melody is just some childhood lullaby her mother
Used to sing to her.
And the road down to the city goes right by maria's door
I often walk right by her house on my way to the store
Up there where those italian mothers
Dress there shivering bambinos
For the rain

She tells me about Jesus and all his gallant men
I tell her about fantasy
Maria she's this lady on the way down to the river
Maria, she's a mystery

Yea passing by this morning I drew a picture in my head
Our bodies in some candlelight that glowed upon our skin
Maybe if I touched her she would disappear
Like angels in a dream.

    Coe no more wasted his great talent than Hank Williams George Jones r any great artist he wrote he sang he played with the best of them all I think I have every album except the x rated which many of his fans like more power to them I have seen him at least 20 times here in Texas over a35 year time span an a still find gems in his music. God Bless DAC. Hope Nashville gets off it’s high horse an puts him in Hall ofFame God knows he deserves it.

    Still one of my favorite albums. Saw Coe in 1974 and thought he was going to be the savior for country music. He was prolific and unpredictable . He had more talent at the time this album came out than any entertainer in Nashville. Unfortunately he wasted that talent but many of us do that lol.

    what makes you say that? hundreds of songs, decades of touring. it wasnt wasted on me. for some people it really is about the music, and that stance is not always pop. I wish more people knew how good he is too, but fuck like shakespeare says. "we few we band of brothers" maybe the the light does only shine on the best of us, maybe the masses are doomed

    ditto, wore out the tracks over time. Not counting the needle drops
    when having happy smoke !

    This is one of the greatest song writers ever, the song seven mile bridge, was written on the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventy seventh year, the song is seven minutes and seven seconds long, just like the bridge. I can't count the times I have seen him, I traveled miles to make it to his shows, and there isn't a mile I wouldn't travel to make another one, he is a very interesting and amazing man, and he has been there and done it, and a bad MF,er also. Cheers to you, DAC !!! He even played in Vidor Tx. my home town, probably about 1977. It was great. And I know the words to every song he wrote, and I turned Jimmy Rabbit on to him. lol
