It was on [E] one cold [A] winter night when the wind [B] blew across the [E] wild moor,
[A] When Mary [E] came wandering [A] home with [D] her child, [A] Till she came to [E] her own [A] father's door.
Father, [E] dear father, [A] she cried, Come [B] down and open [E] the door,
[A] Or the child [E] in my arms [A] will perish [D] and die [A] From the winds that [E] blow across the [A] wild moor.
But her father [E] was deaf to [A] her cry, Not a sound [B] of her voice did [E] he hear,
[A] So the watchdog [E] did howl [A] and the village [D] bells tolled, [A] And the wind [Em] blew across [A] the wild moor.

Oh, how the old man must have felt When he came [B] to the door the [E] next morn,
[A] And he found [E] Mary dead, [A] but the child [D] still alive, [A] Closely grasping [E] his dead [A] mother's arm.
In grief the [E] old man [A] passed away, And the child [B] to its mother [E] went soon,
[A] And no [Em] one, they say, [A] lives there to [D] this day, [A] And the cottage [E] to ruin [A] has gone.

But the villagers point out spot Where the willows [B] grew over [E] the door,
[A] Saying there [E] Mary died, [A] once the gay [D] village bride, [A] From the wind that [Em] blew across [A] the wild moor.
