Jimmy envió una carta a su novia en casaJimmy sent a letter to his bride back home
hace tres largos años que se ha idofor three long years now he's been gone

Y fue a luchar la batalla de los azules y grisesAnd went to fight the battle of the Blue and Gray

Oh Mary, no llores por míOh Mary don't you weep for me
Oh Mary sólo espérameOh Mary just you wait for me
La guerra acabará prontoThe war's gonna soon be over

El corazón joven de María se llenó de alegría
Mary's young heart was filled with joyCuando recibió la carta de su chico soldado
When she got the letter from her soldier boySus palabras de amor hicieron que su corazón latiera rápido
His words of love made her heart beat fastPero poco sabía ella que sería el último
But little did she know it would be the last

Oh Mary, no llores por míOh Mary don't you weep for me
Oh Mary sólo espérameOh Mary just you wait for me
La batalla acabará prontoThe battle will soon be over
Oh Mary, no lloresOh Mary don't you weep

Ese mismo día Atlanta se quemóOn that same day Atlanta burned down
Su hijo soldado cayó al sueloHer soldier boy he fell to the ground
Ahora María se sienta sola junto a la luz de la velaNow Mary sits alone by the candle light
Y lee su carta todas las nochesAnd reads his letter over every night

Oh Mary, no llores por míOh Mary don't you weep for me
Oh Mary sólo espérameOh Mary just you wait for me
La guerra acabará prontoThe war's gonna soon be over
Oh Mary, no lloresOh Mary don't you weep

Oh Mary, no llores por míOh Mary don't you weep for me
Oh Mary sólo espérameOh Mary just you wait for me
La batalla acabará prontoThe battle's gonna soon be over
Oh Mary, no lloresOh Mary don't you weep

Oh Mary, no lloresOh Mary don't you weep
Oh Mary, no lloresOh Mary don't you weep
