Mary Of The Wild Moor

Текст песни JOHNNY CASH - Mary Of The Wild Moor <br/> Was on one cold winter&#039;s night<br />And the wind blew across the wild moor<br />Poor Mary came wand&#039;ring with a child in her arms<br />And she stopped at her own father&#039;s door.<br />Oh, father, oh father, she cried<br />Come down and open the door<br />Or this child in my arms, will perish and die<br />( )<br />From the winds that blow across the wild moor.<br /><br />Oh why did I leave this fair spot<br />Where once I was happy and free<br />This wide world to roam, with no friends or no home<br />And no one to have pity on me.<br /><br />But the father was deaf to her cry<br />Not the sound of her voice, did he hear<br />For the watch dogs did howl and the village bells tolled<br />And the winds blew across the wild moor.<br /><br />Oh, how the old man must have felt<br />When he opened the door, the next morn&#039;<br />And found Mary dead, but the child still alive<br />Clasped close in it&#039;s dead mother&#039;s arms.<br />In anguish, he pulled his gray hair<br />And the tears, down his cheeks, they did pour<br />When he saw how that night, they had perished and died<br /><br />From the winds that blow across the wild moor.<br />The old man, his life, pined away<br />And the child, to it&#039;s mother, went soon<br />And no one they say, lives there to this day<br />And the old house, to ruin, has gone.<br /><br />But the villagers point out the spot<br />And the willows droop over the door<br />Where poor mary died, once a sweet village bride<br />From the winds that blow across the wild moor.<br />
