lyrics

A virgin at twenty two
Came into my room
We talked the whole night through
We talked of her life
She’d one day be a wife
She’d cook and clean for you

She was quick to be mean
She fought everywhere
She denied me
She cried in her chair
So tell me, would you marry
A virgin mary at twenty two?

She grew up sheltered in a home
Where christians only roamed
She listened to what the father said to do
She’d have to find a man
And making sure he’d understand
That abstinence is the only truth

She was quick to be mean
She fought everywhere
She denied me
She cried in her chair
So tell me, would you marry
A virgin Mary at twenty two?

She was quick to be mean
She fought everywhere
She denied me
She cried in her chair
So tell me, would you marry
A virgin mary at twenty two?
