Mary Danced With Soldiers - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band[00:00:00]
Written by:Paul Kennerley[00:00:00]
She'd slip away each day with the dimming light[00:00:15]
And with the sweetest smile she'd kiss the child goodnight[00:00:21]
At the mill she'd work her fingers till they were raw[00:00:29]
For the sake of her son and the daddy he never saw[00:00:35]
Mary danced with soldiers[00:00:43]
She stepped a light quadrille[00:00:46]
Shawl across her shoulders[00:00:49]
To keep away the chill to keep away the chill[00:00:52]
It was a rebel boy who brought her joy they say[00:01:00]
Though the years had passed[00:01:07]
The memories stood fast each day[00:01:09]
Before a bullet crushed the life of their romance[00:01:14]
He gave her a shawl and a parasol from France[00:01:21]
Mary danced with soldiers[00:01:29]
She stepped a light quadrille[00:01:32]
Shawl across her shoulders[00:01:35]
To keep away the chill to keep away the chill[00:01:38]
They came around to the tavern in town that night[00:02:01]
And with silent cries Mary never tried to fight[00:02:07]
They cut her hair and left her body torn[00:02:14]
Her spirit slipped away before the dawn[00:02:21]
Mary danced with soldiers[00:02:29]
But now her body's still[00:02:32]
Shawl across her shoulders[00:02:35]
To keep away the chill[00:02:39]
Mary danced with soldiers[00:02:42]
She stepped a light quadrille[00:02:45]
Shawl across her shoulders[00:02:49]
To keep away the chill [00:02:52]
To keep away the chill[00:02:56]
