[Verse 1]
D G/B
Did you hear about Saint Stephen's end
G G/F# A* D
How they stoned him by the river bend?
A D
In the morning sun
F# G A*
When the world was young
D G/B
Did you hear about the elephant?
G G/F# A* D
Ran wild from the circus tent
A D
Killed a crowd of ten
F# G A*
Before they shot him dead
[Chorus]
D
Oh Mary, don't you cry
G A D
Please lay your weary hand in mine
[Verse 2]
D G/B
Did you hear about Edith Cavell
G G/F# A* D
How on the firing line she fell?
A D
In a Belgian night
F# G A*
In a dress of white
[Chorus]
D
Oh Mary, don't you cry
G A D
Please lay your weary hand in mine
G A D Bm
And swing low and softly down
Asus4 A
And lend me your ear
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
D G/B
Did you hear about Saint Peter's crown
G G/F# A* D
How they crucified him upside down?
A D
In the desert air
F# G A*
When the world was fair
[Chorus]
D
Oh Mary, don't you cry
G A D
Please lay your weary hand in mine
G A D Bm
And swing low and softly down
Asus4 A D
And lend me your ear, Mary dear
Did you hear about Saint Stephen's end
How they stoned him by the river bend?
And the morning sun
When the world was young
Did you hear about the elephant?
Ran wild from the circus tent
Killed a crowd of ten
Before they shot him dead
Oh Mary, don't you cry
Please lay your weary hand in mine
Did you hear about Edith Cavell
How on the firing line she fell?
In a Belgian night
In a dress of white
Oh Mary, don't you cry
Please lay your weary hand in mine
And swing low and softly down
And lend me your ear
Did you hear about Saint Peter's crown
How they crucified him upside down?
And the desert air
When the world was fair
Oh Mary, don't you cry
Please lay your weary hand in mine
And swing low and softly down
And lend me your ear, Mary dear
