Take a message to Mary..but don't say I'm 
     E
in a jam.
        C#m               G#m7
You can tell her I had to see the world..
   C#m              F#       B7
or tell her that my ship set sail.
        E       G#m7       A        E
You can say she better not wait for me..
    C#m

Oh, don't tell her I'm in jail.

B7                   E
shot from a careless gun.

But please don't mention my lonely cell..

where I'm gonna pine away..until my dying day.

Just tell her I went to Timbuktu..tell her I'm 
F#            B7
searchin' for gold.

Oh, Lord, this cell is cold.
