Mary MaryBruce Springsteen

Released: April 19, 2014

Songwriter: Bruce Springsteen

Producer: Ron Aniello

I heard they seen you yesterday in Charlestown
I heard about that story going round round
All I got's a book of love with pages worn clean through
A circle of gold and one bleeding tattoo

Mary, Mary, where have you gone to?
(Mary, Mary, where have you gone to?)

This town's a secret shared and shattered in a sad song
Just torn and tattered pieces of a love gone wrong
Hearts of stone and eyes gone deep blue
Lonely houses filled two by two

Mary, Mary, where have you run to?
(Mary, Mary, where have you run to?)

Summer storm blew in soft and cool
Onto slinky town streets where love ruled
Now it's just a misty sidewalk with rain drifting through
Lipstick case and one lonely red shoe

Mary, Mary, where have you run to?
(Mary, Mary, where have you run to?)
Mary, Mary, where have you run to?
(Mary, Mary, where have you run to?)
Mary, Mary, where have you run to?
(Mary, Mary, where have you run to?)

I heard they seen you yesterday in Charlestown

Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Springsteen is a rock ‘n’ roll icon from the great state of New Jersey. Nicknamed “The Boss,” he’s known for spirited sax-powered anthems about working-class people making their way in the world. Backed by the trusty E Street Band, he’s sold more than 120 million records, won numerous awards (including 20 Grammys and an Oscar), sold out stadiums around the globe, and earned a place alongside his teenage heroes in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Although he’s a living legend who ranks among the most important artists in rock history, Springsteen wasn’t an overnight success. Around the time of his first album, 1973’s Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., he was dismissed as just another “new Dylan"—some scruffy folk singer with a decent vocabulary looking to follow in Bob’s footsteps. In the decade that followed, Springsteen proved himself to be much more.

His breakthrough came with his third album, 1975’s Born to Run. The record hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and landed the singer-songwriter on the cover of both Time and Newsweek. Bruce nabbed his first chart-topping album five years later with The River, and in 1984, he went global with Born in the U.S.A., a critical and commercial smash that produced seven Top 10 singles.
