The Green Pajamas

French To Japanese

Mary hangs her last clothes pin
Her raspberry scarf is torn and frozen
And he's still at sea teaching French to Japanese
Some would say she should marry him anyway

As I sit and watch this over
My cranberry shawl falls off my shoulder
And he's still at sea teaching French to Japanese
Some would say she should marry him anyway

She clings to the fields the home and the baby
What if I reveal the way she troubles me
And he's still at sea teaching French to Japanese
Some would say she should marry him anyway

Mary hangs her last clothes pin
Her raspberry scarf is torn and frozen
Torn and frozen
Torn and frozen
Torn and frozen
