Intro: C  Am  G  F  (2x)  C 

           Am  F 
My name is Mary Magdalen 
      G          C    F G C 
I come from Palestine 
         Am         F 
Please excuse these rags I'm in 
                  G     C      F 
But I've fallen on hard times 
      G    F      C     F 
Long ago I had my work 
           Am    G     F G C 
When I was in my prime 
              Am  F 
But I gave it up, and all for love 
             G       C     
It was his career or mine
