No Mans Land

G          D7                G
Many years ago in Brushcreek Georgia

            C            D7
Molly Marlo was a virgin girl

    C                                     G
She lived a mile from a fool named Barney Dawson

                     D7             G
Hell bent on getting inside Molly's world


                    D7                G
He caught her after church one Sunday morning

                  C                   D7
And took her body with his rough hard hands

    C                                    G
And walked off laughing as she lay there crying

                      D7                G
Since then she's been known as No Man's Land


      Em                 G
Molly Marlo was No Man's Land

           Em                     G
Love could never grow in No Man's Land

            C
The men all tried but she denied them

         G                      Em
And they sighed and wrung their hands

                              D7          G
But they couldn't go walking  in No Man's Land


           D7              G
Molly grew into a luscious beauty

                      C                  D7
Each man's head would turn as she walked by

       C                               G
And as their hot eyes watched her body moving

                        D7                    G
They'd swallow hard and shake their heads and sigh


              D7                 G
Molly went to school and studied nursing

                        C              D7
Now you might laugh but it's an honest fact

    C                                       G
The first year that she nursed at Milliards Clinic

                  D7             G
Six men pretended they had heart attacks


      Em                 G
Molly Marlo was No Man's Land

           Em                     G
Love could never grow in No Man's Land

            C
The men all tried but she denied them

         G                      Em
And they sighed and wrung their hands

                              D7          G
But they couldn't go walking  in No Man's Land


                   D7            G
Years later Barney Dawson lay in prison

                      C                    D7
In feverish pain that suffering shell of a man

       C                                    G
He was glad to see the nurse from Milliards Clinic

                        D7               G
Till he saw the burning eyes of No Man's Land


      Em                 G
Molly Marlo was No Man's Land

           Em                     G
Love could never grow in No Man's Land

       C
Barney cried but she denied him

       G                    Em
And he prayed and wrung his hands

                        D7               G
Now his soul's walking  through No Man's Land
