Wild Mary was an exciting gal
For those who watched her show
She wasn’t just an oil well because
There were enormous gases below
No one could stop her when she blew
Astounding was the sight and sound
Shocking was the way it made folks feel
As it spurted from out of the ground
Oklahoma went down in history
In the days that followed the blast
For Oklahoma City, my friends
A new dye had surely been cast
For eleven days this lady blew
And the oil men had never seen
Anything like Wild Mary
Only something in between
Thousands of barrels of oil flowed
During those days from this oil well
Wild Mary went down in history
Now Oklahoma has a story to tell!
