More Of The Monkees (1994)
Mary, Mary, where are you goin' to?
Mary, Mary, can I go too?
This one thing I will vow ya,
I'd rather die than to live without ya.
Mary, Mary, where are you goin' to?
Mary, Mary, tell me truly
What did I do to make you leave me?
Whatever it was I didn't mean to,
You know I never would try and hurt ya.
Mary, Mary, where are you goin' to?
What more, Mary, can I do
To prove that my love is truly yours?
I've done more now than a clear-thinkin' man would do.
Mary, Mary, it's not over.
Where you go, I will follow.
'Til I win your love again
And walk beside you,
But until then
Mary, Mary, where are you goin' to?
Mary, Mary, where are you goin' to?
Mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, where you goin' to?
Oh Mary, where you goin' to Mary, Mary
Mary, Mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, Mary, can I go too.
This one thing I will vow ya,
I'd rather die than to live without ya.
Mary, Mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, Mary, tell me truly
What did I do to make you leave me.
Whatever it was I didn't mean to,
You know I never would try and hurt ya.
Mary, Mary, where you goin' to?
What more, Mary, can I do
To prove my love is truly yours?
I've done more now than a clear-thinkin' man would do.
Mary, Mary, it's not over.
Where you go, I will follow.
'Til I win your love again
And walk beside you,
But until then.
Mary, Mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, Mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, where you goin' to?
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, where you goin' to?

| About this ... | - Michael Nesmith wrote this song before he joined The Monkees. It was first recorded by The Paul Butterfield Blues Band on their East-West album on Elektra in 1966. In Glenn Baker's Monkeemania book, it states that the president of Elektra actually caught some flap once the Monkees' version came out because people couldn't believe that a Monkee actually wrote it.
- Monkee's drummer Micky Dolenz sang lead on this. He handled vocals on some of The Monkees biggest hits, including "I'm A Believer" and "Pleasant Valley Sunday."
- Nesmith: "That song was written to be a hit. I knew it would be a hit. I never once thought of me doing the lead on that one. Mickey was my choice for that."
- Run-DMC covered this in 1988 on their album Tougher Than Leather. They did a rap version with the chorus changed to "Mary Mary, why you buggin'?" (Thanks to the good people at www.monkeeland.com for their help with this)
