Sweet Mother Mary Magdalen

You may never know the depth of all my sins
Cuz God only knows why

D G
Sweet Mother Mary Magdalen
G C
You can't seem to find a way at all
D G
To keep you from the beckon of my call
G C
But you never question why you can't break free
G D
From the spell you're fallin' under, under me
(Chorus)
You bear your Sainted Mother's Holy name
She must've taught you how to look beyond my shame
And the water falls around you, but you can't see
That it's tears she cries from Heaven over me
(Chorus)
Am
And you may never know
Am
And you may never see
Am D G
Cling to your rosery Sweet Mary
(Chorus)
