There's "Mary Ann" as referenced in the second post, by GUEST. I've heard this one by Ian & Sylvia.

Then there's "Mary Ann" that I believe mag' was referring to, which was a hit for Harry Belafonte.

I don't know of any lyrics in these two songs I've mentioned which are anything like what bob jr had in his opening post here. Is the song in question yet a different one titled "Mary Ann"?
