Harry Belafonte - Mary Makes Magic

Heard you were looking for a permanent home
All I had was what I could carry
I know You're a gypsy and
Could teach me to fly
They told me that your name was Mary

Mary can fly, Mary don’t cry
She makes love by the ocean
When I am down, Mary come ‘round
Yes I carry Mary down to the ocean
Yes I carry Mary down to the ocean

When I was young I used to think about love
Wondered how to tell it was real now
Mary she kissed me then she
Smiled and she said
You can tell it by the way that it feels now

Mary can fly, Mary don't cry
She makеs love by the ocean
Whеn I am down Mary come ‘round
Yes I carry Mary down to the ocean
Yes I carry Mary down to the ocean

Mary makes magic and she does it so well
That's the reason that I can’t refuse her
I told her my secrets, but she'll never tell
That's the reason that I don't
Want to lose her
That's the reason that I don't
Want to lose her

Mary can fly, Mary don't cry
She makes love by the ocean
When I am down, Mary come ‘round
Yes I carry Mary down to the ocean
Yes I carry Mary down to the ocean

(Mary can fly, Mary don't cry
She makes love by the ocean
When I am down, Mary come ‘round
Yes I carry Mary down to the ocean
Yes I carry Mary down to the ocean)

She can fly, She don’t cry
She won’t turn me down when I come to town
She makes magic

Ain't no dollar trick does it all with ease
Makes you want to please
Carry Mary down to the ocean

Tol’ me love was real it's the way it feels
She can fly she don't cry
