about

This song appears on Neil Young's 'Living With War' website (www.neilyoung.com).

lyrics

I just heard the bad news
Mary has died in her boots
Everyone in town is so sad
They're flying the flags at half staff

Cause Mary won't be coming home no more
Mary went off to the war

Mary was my dear friend
We dated a little back then
But she couldn't find a career
Beyond serving truckers their beer

Now Mary won't be coming home no more
Mary went off to the war

Her recruiter said
Good things lie ahead

Mary was shipped to Baghdad
To fight 'em there the leader said
She never saw the I.E.D.
Or the profits Halliburton sees

Now Mary won't be coming home no more
Mary went off to the war
