Salon And Saloon Lyrics
Sometimes I think about
Our good old high school days
You would always kid about
My adolescent ways
Oh Mary ... Mary
Good to see you too
Haven't seen too many
Of the old crew
The time just flew
And how are you
Strange we should meet here
Seeing off our friends
Hard to draw the line between
Beginnings and ends
Oh Mary ... Mary
Must you go so soon
We must be a sight to see
Salon and saloon
I'll look you up soon
Maybe sing you a tune
Our good old high school days
You would always kid about
My adolescent ways
Good to see you too
Haven't seen too many
Of the old crew
The time just flew
And how are you
Seeing off our friends
Hard to draw the line between
Beginnings and ends
Must you go so soon
We must be a sight to see
Salon and saloon
I'll look you up soon
Maybe sing you a tune

The most mellow song jim croce as ever created. In my interpretation, this song is about a girl named mary who adds meaning in his life. Mary is probably his first love. She might be his best friend i dont really know. He is recalling his old memories he has with her, the places they have been together. He is looking forward to meeting her again, but he can no longer to that.
My Dear Account- Jim Croce did not write this song. It was written by his lead guitarist Maury Muehleisen in 1970 when he ran into a high school sweetheart at the Trenton, NJ train station. They were both dropping friends off at the station. She was dressed to the hilt and he, as many up and coming musicians, was dressed quite sparingly. Croce only sang the song. Tommy Lee, Croce's piano player and producer, played the piano on the recording. The reason I know all this is that I used to live in Trenton and became...

Tommy Lee, Croce's piano player and producer, played the piano on the recording. The reason I know all this is that I used to live in Trenton and became good friends with Maury's sister (Maury died in the plane cash along with Croce)through the Unofficial Martin Guitar Forum (UMGF)that holds MartinFest the 1st weekend of every August at the C. F. Martin Guitar factory in Nazareth, PA.
The song was recorded 8 weeks before Maury died, so the Mary it was written for never got to hear it in a live performance.
