[Verse]
GShe'd slip away each dCay with the dimming lGight
GAnd with the sweetest smile she'd kCiss the child goodniGght
At the miCll she'd work her fingers till they were rGaw
EmFor the sake of her son and the Ddaddy he never saGw
[Chorus]
CMary danced with solGdiers
She stepped a light quadrEmille
CShawl across her shoGulders
To keep away the EmchiCll, to keep away the cGhill
[Verse]
GIt was a rebel boy who brCought her joy they sGay
GThough the years had passed the memorCies stood fast each dGay
Before a buCllet crushed the life of their romaGnce
EmHe gave her a shawl and aD parasol from FraGnce
[Chorus]
CMary danced with solGdiers
She stepped a light quadrEmille
CShawl across her shoGulders
To keep away the EmchiCll, to keep away the cGhill
[Verse]
GThey came around to the tCavern in town that nGight
GAnd with silent cries MaCry never tried to figGht
They cCut her hair and left her body toGrn
EmHer spirit slipped aDway before the daGwn
[Chorus]
CMary danced with solGdiers
But now her body's stEmill
CShawl across her shoGulders
To kCeep away the chGill
[Chorus]
CMary danced with solGdiers
She stepped a light quadrEmille
CShawl across her shoGulders
To keep away the EmchiCll, to keep away the cGhill
