Does anyone have the words to a song called "Mo Mary", recorded by Harry Balafonte 35 to 40 years ago?

I can't type out the lyrics (not good enough typist), but if you can find a copy of RCA LPM1022, "Mark Twain" you will find the song. By the way would you believe 45 years ago!, 1954 the album was released.--John

I've got the RCA Victor recording in my hand and that particular song was taught to Harry Belafonte by Richard Dyer-Bennett. If you can't find the lyrics any- where else, I'll have them for you after I cook supper for my boys. They're starved.....
