The version I posted on 19 Sept 97 isn't quite the same as the version I remember from years ago. The song is so popular, in so many regions of Italy, that versions abound. Bill showed me how to look for mp3's of it (search on "lazy mary" "mp3") and I found this GREAT site with a pretty good transcription of the way Lou Monte sang it. They also have a link called "THE BACKSTORY" that tells who wrote it, etc., plus a downloadable mp3 and lots of places where you can buy Lou Monte's version.

I'll post the transcription in a separate message, but it's worth looking at this whole web site if you really love this song.
