About the Artist
Lyrics
It was on one cold and wintry night When the wind blew across the wild moor 'Twas there Mary wandered alone with her child Till she came to her own father's door Why did I leave this fair spot Where once I was happy and free? For I'm now left alone in this cold world to roam And nobody cares about me Oh father take pity on me Come down and open the door For the child in my arms, he will perish and die From the winds that blow across the wild moor But the old man was deaf to her cries Not a sound from her voice did hе hear And the watchdog did howl and the villagе bells tolled And the wind blew across the wild moor Oh, how the old man must have felt When he came to the door the next morn And he found Mary dead, but the child still alive Still wrapped in her dead mother's arms In grief the old man pined away And the child to its mother went soon And no one they say has lived there 'til this day And the cottage to ruin has gone But the villagers point out the spot Where the willows droop over the door Saying there Mary died once a gay village bride From the wind that blew across the wild moor
