Verse 1
She use to talk about Jesus,
Like he’s a family friend
He use to come round for dinner
Every now and again
she had his picture in bathrooms
she had his picture in halls
she had a few thousand
all over the walls
Like he’s a family friend
He use to come round for dinner
Every now and again
she had his picture in bathrooms
she had his picture in halls
she had a few thousand
all over the walls
Chorus
Oh. . . she laid her hands
Upon the weary
Oh. . . she laid her hands
Upon my brow
Upon the weary
Oh. . . she laid her hands
Upon my brow
Verse 2
She use to come down to my place
We’d share a bottle of wine
Maybe waste a few hours
And empty our minds
Her soul was so cherished
And her heart was so pure
She use to lay down in my place
Feel the comfort the inside
We’d share a bottle of wine
Maybe waste a few hours
And empty our minds
Her soul was so cherished
And her heart was so pure
She use to lay down in my place
Feel the comfort the inside
Chorus
Oh. . . she laid her hands
Upon the weary
Oh. . . she laid her hands
Upon my brow
Upon the weary
Oh. . . she laid her hands
Upon my brow
Bridge
Mary, Mary, call my name
call for Jesus, ease my pain
call for Jesus, ease my pain
Chorus
Oh she laid her hands
Upon the weary
Oh she laid her hands
Upon my brow
Upon the weary
Oh she laid her hands
Upon my brow
Verse 3
I can here her this morning
She’s walking round up stairs
She calls out for coffee
Dancing in her underwear
Spends some time in the garden
Pruning the weeds
Healing the damaged
the people like me
She’s walking round up stairs
She calls out for coffee
Dancing in her underwear
Spends some time in the garden
Pruning the weeds
Healing the damaged
the people like me
Chorus
Oh. . . she laid her hands
Upon the weary
Oh. . . she laid her hands
Upon my brow
Upon the weary
Oh. . . she laid her hands
Upon my brow
Bridge reframe
Mary, Mary, call my name
call for Jesus, ease my pain
call for Jesus, ease my pain
Chorus
Oh she laid her hands
Upon the weary
Oh she laid her hands
Upon my brow
Upon the weary
Oh she laid her hands
Upon my brow
Song story
This song is actually never happened, it made up from separate stories (1) a late night documentary show about a older woman from Texas with religious items everywhere, (2) A female friend who would call to Jesus in moments of extreme pleasure (3) the boys upstairs calling out for coffee and I just use the biblical link to tie it together.
