Version 1
            [Intro]
D  A  D


[Verse 1]
       D      A           D
It was on one cold wintry night,
         D          E              A
When the wind blew across the wild moor
     D         A
when Mary came wandering
D             G
home with her child,
         D           A            D
till she came to her own father's door.


[Verse 2]
D            A          D
Father, dear Father she cried.
     D        E        A
Come down and open the door,
       D           A
or the child in my arms
     D          G
will perish and die,
         D                A              D
from the winds that blow across the wild moor.


[Verse 3]
D         A               D
Why did I leave this fair spot
      D           E         A
Where oncet I was happy and free
     D             A
I am now doomed to roam
        D            G
Without friends or a home
       D           A       D
And no one to take pity on me


[Interlode]
D  A  D


[Verse 4]
        D          A           D
But her father was deaf to her cry,
      D            E            A
not a sound of her voice did he hear,
       D             A
so the watch dog did howl,
        D             G
and the village bells tolled
        D           A              D
and the winds blew across the wild moor.


[Verse 5]
   D           A             D
Oh how the old man must have felt,
      D           E             A
as he came to the door the next morn,
       D          A
and he found Mary dead
        D            G
but the child still alive,
        D            A              D
closely grasping his stiff mother's arm.


[Verse 6]
   D          A             D
In anguish he tore his grey hair
        D              E               A
And the tears down his cheeks they did pour
        D            A
When he saw how that night
        D            G
She had perished and died
         D                A              D
From the windS that blew across the wild moor


[Interlude]
D  A  D


[Verse 7]
   D             A          D
In grief the old man pined away,
        D            E           A
and the child to his mother went soon.
    D           A
And no one they say
          D             G
Has lived there to this day,
        D          A        D
And the cottage to ruin has gone.


[Verse 8]
        D         A             D
But the villagers point out the spot,
          D            E        A
where the willows grew over the door.
       D          A
Saying there Mary died,
         D           G
once the gay village bride,
         D               A              D
from the wind that blew across the wild moor.
