[D]
It was on one [A] cold and [D] winter's night,
As the winds blew across the [A] wild moor,
[D] As poor Mary [G] came [D] wandering home [G] with her child,
She [D] came to her [A] own father's [D] door.
Father, dear [A] father, she [D] cried,
Come down here [E] and open the [A] door,
For [D] the child in [G] my arms he [D] will perish [G] and die,
[D] From the winds that blow across the wild moor.
But her [A] father was deaf to [D] her cry,
Not a sound of her voice [A] could he hear,
[D] Though the [G] watchdog did howl [D] and the [G] policeman stole,
[D] As the winds blew across the wild moor.
Why [A] did I leave [D] this dear spot,
Where I once was [A] happy and free,
[D] Now to roam [G] through this land [D] without friends [G] or a home,
[Bm] And no one to take [D] pity on me?
Oh, how they all then must have fell,
As he came to the door the [A] next morn,
[D] When he saw [G] how that night she [D] had [G] perished and died,
[D] From the winds [A] that blew across the [D] wild moor.
With anger [A] he tore his [D] grey hair,
As the tears down his cheeks they [Em]
departed,
When [D] he saw how [G] that night she [D] had perished [G] and died,
[D] From the winds that blew across the wild moor.
It was on one [A] cold and [D] winter's night,
As the winds blew across the [A] wild moor,
[D] As poor Mary [G] came [D] wandering home [G] with her child,
She [D] came to her [A] own father's [D] door.
Father, dear [A] father, she [D] cried,
Come down here [E] and open the [A] door,
For [D] the child in [G] my arms he [D] will perish [G] and die,
[D] From the winds that blow across the wild moor.
