G D G
It was on one cold winter night
G A7 D7
When the wind blew across the wild moor
G D G C
When Mary came wandering home with her child
G D7 G
Till she came to her own father's door
G D G
Father, dear father, she cried
G A7 D7
Come down and open the door
G D G C
Or the child in my arms, will perish and die
G D7 G
From the winds that blow across the wild moor
G D G
"Oh, why did I leave this fair spot
G A7 D7
Where once I was happy and free
G D G C
I'm now doomed to roam without friends or a home
G A7 D7
And no one to take pity on me
G D G
But her father was deaf to her cry
G A7 D7
Not a sound of her voice, did he hear
G D G C
So the watch dog did howl and the village bells tolled
G D7 G
And the wind blew across the wild moor
G D G
Oh, how the old man must have felt
G A7 D7
When he came to the door, the next mornin'
G D G C
And he found Mary dead, but the child still alive
G D7 G
Closely grasping his dead mother's arms
G D G
In anguish he tore his gray hair
G A7 D7
While the tears down his cheeks they did pour
G D G C
When he saw how that night she had perished and died
G D7 G
From the winds that blew across the wild moor
G D G
In grief the old man pined away
G A7 D7
And the child to it's mother went soon
G D G C
And no one they say, lives there to this day
G D7 G
And the cottage to ruin has gone
G D G
But the villagers point out the spot
G A7 D7
Where the willows grew over the door
G D G C
Saying there Mary died, once the gay village bride
G D7 G
From the wind that blow across the wild moor
