Mary Of The Wild Moor
Recorded by Mac Wiseman
Written by David Turner
[3/4 time]

C        G7            C
Was on a cold winter's night
                   D7             G7
And the wind blew across the wild moor
   C              G7        C             F
As poor Mary came wandering home with her child 
         C           G7           C
Till she came to her own father's door

               G7         C
Oh father dear father she cried
              D7       G7
Come down and open the door
   C                G7        C          F
Or this child in my arms will perish and die
         C               G7              C
From the winds that blow across the wild moor

               G7          C
Her father was deaf to her cry
                   D7           G7
Not a sound of her voice did he hear
        C              G7           C             F
For the watch dogs did howl and the village bells tolled
        C          G7              C
And the winds blew across the wild moor

               G7            C
Oh how the old man must have felt
                    D7            G7
When he came to the door the next morn'
    C          G7           C           F
And found Mary dead but the child still alive
        C               G7            C
Closely clasped in it's dead mother's arms

              G7            C
In anguish he tore his gray hair
                         D7              G7
While the tears down his cheeks they did pour
        C             G7       C           F
Then he saw that Mary died the gay village bride
         C               G7              C
From the winds that blow across the wild moor

                  G7            C
But the villagers point out the spot
                  D7            G7
Where the willows weep over the door
       C          G7            C           F
Saying there Mary died once the gay village bride
         C               G7              C
From the winds that blow across the wild moor
