Mary Of The Wild Moor Lyrics - Dolly Parton

On a cold winty night as the winds blew across the wild moor 

Poor Mary came wandering home with her child 

Till she came at her own father's door 

Papa oh papa 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 

But the man was deaf to her cry not a sound of her voice did he hear 

While the watch dogs did howl and the village bells tolled 

The winds 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 yet alive 

Clutched close to his dead mother's breast 

Now the old man in grief pined away 

And the day to it's mother went soon 

And no one they say has lived there to this day 

And the cottage is left to ruins 

Photos 

Now the villagers point out the place 

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 

From the winds that blew across the wild moor
