The Louvin Brothers - Mary of the Wild Moor lyrics
It was on one cold wintery night And the wind blew across the wild moor When Mary came wandering home with her child Till she came to her own father's door. Father, dear father, she cried Come down and open the door Or the child in my arms will perish and die From the winds that blow across the wild moor. Why did I leave this fair spot Where once I was happy and free I am now doomed to roam without friends or a home And no one to take pity on me. [instrumental break] But the father was deaf to her cry Not a sound of her voice did he hear So watch dog did howl and the village bells tolled And the wind blew across the wild moor Oh, how the old man must have felt When he came to the door the next morn' And found Mary dead but the child still alive Closely grasping his dead mother's arms. In anguish, he tore his gray hair And the tears down his cheeks they did pour When he saw how that night she had perished and died From the winds that blew across the wild moor. [instrumental break] In grief the old man pined away And the child to its mother went soon And no one they say have lived there to this day And the cottage to ruin has gone. But the villagers point out the spot Where the willows droop over the door Saying there Mary died once a gay village bride From the winds that blew across the wild moor. |
