"Along Comes Mary" is a song composed by Tandyn Almer, originally recorded by American sunshine pop band the Association.

[7] It was the group's first hit, released in March 1966 as the lead single prior to their debut album, And Then...

[8] "Along Comes Mary" is sung from the point of view of a once-disillusioned young man talking about the "tribulations no one ever sees" and who "curse[s] those faults in me."

Both Leonard Bernstein[9] and Tandyn Almer stated that Mary was a reference to marijuana; this association was also prevalent among many of the song's listeners.

[11] American rock band Bloodhound Gang recorded a version of "Along Comes Mary" with new punk music to accompany the lyrics.
