One, two, three, one, two
It was on a cold winter night
When the winds blew across the wild moor
And Mary came wandering home with her child
'Til she came to her own father's door
Oh father, dear father, she cried
Won't you come down and open the door
Or this child in my arms, it will perish and die
By the winds that blow across the wild moor
Oh, why did I leave this fair spot
Where once I was happy and free
I'm now doomed to roam with no friends nor home
And no one to take pity on me
Oh, the father was deaf to her cries
Not a sound of her voice, did he hear
Though the watch dogs did howl and the village bells tolled
By the winds blew across the wild moor
ย
Oh, how the old man must have felt
When he came to the door, the next mornin'
And he found Mary dead, but the child still alive
Closely clasped in its dead mother's arms
In grief the old man wind away
And the cottage to ruin went soon
And no one, they say, will live there to this day
And the winds blow across the wild moor
Now the villagers point out the spot
Where the willows hang over the door
Saying there Mary died, once the gay village bride
By the winds that blow across the wild moor
Thank you
Wanna pick one? (Bring it on)
