Cash, Johnny - Mary Of The Wild Moor Lyrics
It was on one cold winter night,
When the wind blew across the wild moor.
When Mary came wandering home with a child,
'Til she came to her own father's door.
"Come down and open the door,
Or the child in my arms will perish and die,
From the winds that blow across the wild moor."
But her father was deaf to her cry.
Not a sound of a voice did he hear.
So the watchdog did howl and the village bells tolled,
And the wind blew across the wild moor.
Oh, how the old man must have felt,
And he found Mary dead but the child still alive,
Closely grasping its dead mother's arms.
In grief, the old man passed away,
And the child, to it's mother, went soon.
And no one, they say, lives there to this day,
And the cottage, to ruin, has gone.
But the villagers point out the spot,
Where the willows grew over the door.
Saying, "There Mary died, once the gay village bride,
From the wind that blow across the wild moor."

Lovely Johnny Cash song, but a sad song.
Excelent composer and performer..........
This is an old English folk song.
Hi there, thank you for posting this version of the traditional song also performed by Bob Dylan. Join us inside his Music Box http://thebobdylanproject.com/Song/id/402/Mary-Of-The-Wild-Moor and listen to all the great versions.
A wonderful departure for Johnny. I have to acknowledge, that although I have long been a fan of Johnny's work, it was my unabashed admiration for Sheryl Crow, who plays accordion on this track, AND "Wayfaring Stranger" , AND sings background vocals along with June Carter Cash on "Field of Diamonds" that lead me to this track, AND this Album. G;ad I Did! GOOD STUFF!
