歌词
These are the words of a frontier man
这是来自死亡边缘的少年的自白，
Who lost his love when he turned back.
当他触及法律底线时，他就失去了自己的爱人。

（音乐）
请捎个口信给玛丽吧，
Take a message to Mary
但不要告诉她我现在何处。
But don't tell her where I am
请捎个口信给玛丽吧，
Take a message to Mary
但不要告诉她我身陷囹圄。
But don't say I'm in a jam
请告诉她我想去看看世界，
You can tell her that I had to see the world
或者告诉她我已扬帆起航。
Tell her that my ship set sail
请告诉她不要再为我等待，
You can say she'd better not wait for me
但不要告诉她我身陷囹圄。
But don't tell her I'm in jail, oh
噢，不要告诉她我身陷监狱。
don't tell her I'm in jail.
请捎个口信给玛丽吧，
但不要告诉她我所犯下的罪。
Take a message to Mary
请不要提到那架马车，
But don't tell her what I've done
和那条走火的枪。
Please, don't mention the stage coach
请告诉她我必须更改我的计划，
And the shot from a carried gun
取消我们的婚礼。
You better tell her that I had to change my plans
但不要告诉她我身处监狱，
And cancel out the wedding-day
将在这里走过最后一程，直到我死的那天。
But please, don't mention the lonely cell
（音乐）
Where I'm gonna pine away, until my dying-day.
请捎个口信给玛丽吧，
music
但请不要说出你知道的所有事。
我的心为玛丽而刺痛，
Take a message to Mary
主知道我是多么想念她。
But don't tell her all you know
就告诉她我正前往廷巴克图,
My heart is aching for Mary
告诉她我正准备淘金。
Lord knows I miss her so
请告诉她去找一个新的爱人，
Just tell her that I went to Timbukto
来珍惜她，爱护她。啊，上帝。
Tell her I'm searching for gold
这间牢房冰冷彻骨。
You can say she better find someone new
（音乐）
To cherish and to hold, oh Lord,
（尾声）
this cell is so cold.
