The Louvin Brothers - Mary of the wild moor

It was ^Don one ^Acold wintry ^Dnight, When the ^Dwind blew a^Ecross the wild ^Amoor when ^DMary came wandering home with her ^Gchild, till she ^Dcame to her ^Aown father's ^Ddoor.

^DFather, dear ^AFather she ^Dcried. Come ^Ddown and ^Eopen the ^Adoor, or the ^Dchild in my arms will perish and ^Gdie, from the ^Dwinds that blow a^Across the wild ^Dmoor.

^DWhy did I ^Aleave this fair ^Dspot Where ^Doncet I was ^Ehappy and ^Afree I am ^Dnow doomed to roam Without friends or a ^Ghome And no ^Done to take ^Apity on ^Dme

But her ^Dfather was ^Adeaf to her ^Dcry, not a ^Dsound of her ^Evoice did he ^Ahear, so the ^Dwatch dog did howl, and the ^Gvillage bells tolled and the ^Dwinds blew a^Across the wild ^Dmoor.

Oh ^Dhow the old ^Aman must have ^Dfelt, as he ^Dcame to the ^Edoor the next ^Amorn, and he ^Dfound Mary dead but the ^Gchild still alive, closely ^Dgrasping his ^Astiff mother's ^Darm.

In ^Danguish he ^Atore his grey ^Dhair And the ^Dtears down his ^Echeeks they did ^Apour When he ^Dsaw how that night She had ^Gperished and died From the ^DwindS that blew a^Across the wild ^Dmoor

In ^Dgrief the old ^Aman pined a^Dway, and the ^Dchild to his ^Emother went ^Asoon. And ^Dno one they say Has lived ^Gthere to this day, And the ^Dcottage to ^Aruin has ^Dgone.

But the ^Dvillagers ^Apoint out the ^Dspot, where the ^Dwillows grew ^Eover the ^Adoor. Saying ^Dthere Mary died, once the ^Ggay village bride, from the ^Dwind that blew a^Across the wild ^Dmoor.
