Key: A major
Verse 1
G
D
G
D
It was on one cold, wintry night
G
D
And the wind blew across
A
D
the wild moor
G
C
As poor Mary came wandering home
G
Cm
C
G
With her child till she came
D
G
to her own father's door
D
G
Oh father, dear father, she cried
A
D
Come down and open the door
G
C
For the child in my arms,
G
Cm
it will perish and die
C
G
From the winds that blow
D
G
across the wild moors
D
G
Oh, why did I leave this fair spot
A
D
Where I once was happy and free
G
C
I am now doomed to roam
C
G
nor a home and no one to
D
G
D
G
take pity on me.
D
G
But her father was deaf to her cries
A
D
Not a sound of her voice did he hear
G
C
For the watchdog it howled,
G
C
and the village bell tolled,
G
D
G
And the winds blew across the wild moor.
D
G
Oh how the old man must have felt,
G
A
D
door the next morn,
G
C
And found Mary dead,
G
Cm
but the child still alive,
C
G
Closely clutched in its
D
G
dead mother's arms.
D
G
In anguish he tore his gray hair,
While the tears down his cheeks
A
D
they did pour,
C
G
Cm
she had perished and died
G
