He used to play mouth organin a folk club they called the lady
janeall the sounds as his friends and he would hollersongs of
love and songs of pain
There wasn't much that he could use his time forso he used to
practice everydayand play the mouth organ the blues and hard
lucksomeday soon i'm gonna break away
He used to listen to the bells of st marysas they would echo
through those early daysand sometimes even now he thinks that he
still hears themalthough they're but a thousand miles away
And so he came into this crazy businessand do you know the stars
all fell his wayand he became another rock and roll troubadorand
threw the mouth organ far away
And so he listens to the bells of st marysand so their echo
haunts him every dayso clear that he could reach out and touch
themalthough they're but a thousand miles awayalthough they're
but a thousand miles away
