Oh, Sweet Mary

Written by Janis Joplin and Peter Albin

Yeah!

Oh, sweet Mary, child of confusion, she runs the hills to cry Past
the willows or an illusion, Lord, tell me the reason why Tell me
why, why is it all so hard ?
Breathing in the air Breathe in the air
Anyone to care
Oh!

(Alright, yeah!)

Oh, sweet Mary, in our story, have we nothing left to give ?
But don’t we all know, babe, if we’re pressed to, that that’s the way we live Tell
me why, why is it all so hard ?
Breathing in the air Breathing in the air
Anyone to care, oh, yeah!

Alright now!

Hop now, hop now, hop now, hop now, hop now, hop now
Hop now, hop now, hop now, hop now, hop now, hop now, whoa, yeah!
