G
Intro:
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
But her father was deaf to her cry
G A7 D7
Not a sound of a voice did he hear
G D G C
So the watchdog did howl and the village bells tolled
G D7 G
And the wind blew across the wild moor
G D G C G D7 G
G D G
Oh, how the old man must have felt
G A7 D7
When he came to the door the next morn'
G D G C
And he found Mary dead but the child still alive
G D7 G
Closely grasping its dead mother's arms
G D G
In grief the old man passed away
G A7 D7
And the child to its 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 C G D7 G
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 blew across the wild moor"
G D G C G D7 G
