Mary Of The Wild Moor
Recorded by Mac Wiseman
Written by David Turner
[3/4 time]
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
Was on a cold winter's night
D7D7 G7G7
And the wind blew across the wild moor
C majorC G7G7 C majorC FF
As poor Mary came wandering home with her child
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
Till she came to her own father's door
G7G7 C majorC
Oh father dear father she cried
D7D7 G7G7
Come down and open the door
C majorC G7G7 C majorC FF
Or this child in my arms will perish and die
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
From the winds that blow across the wild moor
G7G7 C majorC
Her father was deaf to her cry
D7D7 G7G7
Not a sound of her voice did he hear
C majorC G7G7 C majorC FF
For the watch dogs did howl and the village bells tolled
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
And the winds blew across the wild moor
G7G7 C majorC
Oh how the old man must have felt
D7D7 G7G7
When he came to the door the next morn'
C majorC G7G7 C majorC FF
And found Mary dead but the child still alive
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
Closely clasped in it's dead mother's arms
G7G7 C majorC
In anguish he tore his gray hair
D7D7 G7G7
While the tears down his cheeks they did pour
C majorC G7G7 C majorC FF
Then he saw that Mary died the gay village bride
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
From the winds that blow across the wild moor
G7G7 C majorC
But the villagers point out the spot
D7D7 G7G7
Where the willows weep over the door
C majorC G7G7 C majorC FF
Saying there Mary died once the gay village bride
C majorC G7G7 C majorC
From the winds that blow across the wild moor
