Handwritten lyrics, unsigned, unpublished for an unnamed piece written to the same Mary immortalized in Thunder Road. It dreams: "Come to me Mary I want to know if you still love your baby like you've told him so. Meet me by the river, meet me in the field underneath that old oak tree. Won't you say you will. When the rooster crows and the train whistle blows, that's when I'll be gone. I gotta job to do, my country is at war. But I'd fight the fiercest battle and march the roughest land if only I could be sure I'd have my Mary's hand. We'll all man the guns for America, we'll all run the enemy home, we'll all man the guns for America. The sooner it's done, the sooner we've won, the sooner I'll get home…[more]" On 8x10" spiral notebook paper. EX.
