Versuri Mac Wiseman – Molly Bawn lyrics

It was on a cold wintry night
And the winds blew across the wild moor
As poor Mary came wandering home with her child
‘Til she came to her own father’s door
Oh, father, dear father, she cried
Come down and open the door
Or the child in my arms will perish and die
By the winds that blow across the wild moor

Her father was deaf to her cry
Not a sound of her voice did he hear
Though the watchdog did howl and the village bells tolled
And the winds blew across the wild moor

Oh, how the old man must have felt
When he came to the door the next morning
And found Mary dead, but the child stood alive
Closely clasped in its dead mother’s arms

In anguish he tore his gray hair
While the tears down his cheek they did pour
When he saw Mary died, the gay village cried
From the winds that blew across the wild moor

The villagers point out the spot
Where the willows sweep over the door
Saying there Mary died, once the gay village cried
From the winds that blew across the wild moor
