| This is even better than Victoria Williams' version, probably because of the long (but awesome) guitar solo. One of their famous concert songs, and it's not even theirs. | |

| Crazy Mary is an old poor woman who lives in a run down shack. She spends her day loitering next to a convienent store drinking with her friends. The narrator of the song is facinated by her and even dreams that Mary is killed one night during a storm. The next morning the narrator confirms his fears when he investigates Mary's house and finds an our of control car has crashed through her house in the storm and killed Mary. | |
