Mary Of The Wild Moor

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
