Mary Of The Wild Moor - The Blue Sky Boys[00:00:00]
Written by:Traditional[00:00:02]
It was on one cold winter night[00:00:10]
And the wind blew across the wild moor[00:00:15]
At Mary came wandering home with a child[00:00:20]
Till she came to her own father's door[00:00:25]
Father dear father she cried[00:00:30]
Come down and open the door[00:00:35]
Or the child in my arms with perish and die[00:00:39]
From the winds that blow 'cross the wild moor[00:00:44]
Oh why did I leave this fair spot[00:00:49]
Where once I was happy and free[00:00:54]
I am now doomed to roam[00:00:59]
Without friends or a home[00:01:01]
And no one to take pity on me[00:01:03]
But her father was deaf to her cry[00:01:08]
Not a sound of a voice did he hear[00:01:13]
So the watchdog did howl[00:01:18]
And the village bells tolled[00:01:20]
And the wind blew across the wild moor[00:01:22]
Oh how the old man must have felt[00:01:27]
When he came to the door the next morn[00:01:32]
And he found Mary dead but the child still alive[00:01:36]
Closely clasped in its dead mother's arms[00:01:41]
In anguish he tore his gray hair[00:01:46]
And the tears down his cheeks they did pour[00:01:51]
When he saw how that night[00:01:55]
She had perished and died[00:01:58]
From the winds that blow 'cross the wild moor[00:02:00]
The old man with grief pined away[00:02:14]
An' the child to its mother went soon[00:02:19]
And no one they say has there to lived this day[00:02:23]
And the cottage to ruin has gone[00:02:28]
But the villagers point out the spot[00:02:33]
Where the willows droop over the door[00:02:37]
Saying there Mary died once the gay village bride[00:02:42]
From the winds that blow 'cross the wild moor[00:02:47]
