MARY IN THE EVENING
One evening I was walking in the hills above the town
When I met a lovely maiden as she came tripping down.
Refrain:
Mary in the evening, so sweet she came to me,
I turned around and took her hand to keep her company.
‘Twas on a summer’s morning that she came to my side
And I vowed I’d love and cherish her and she would be my bride.
Refrain:
Mary in the evening, so sweet she came to me,
I turned around and took her hand to keep her company.
It was on a winter’s morning when she passed away
And I’ve missed that lovely girl since then, every night and day.
Refrain:
Mary in the evening, so sweet she came to me,
I turned around and took her hand to keep her company.
No matter what I do or say I won’t forget the past
My love for you my darling girl, it’s going to grow and last.
Refrain:
Mary in the evening, so sweet she came to me,
I turned around and took her hand to keep her company.
Now the evening light is failing, she walks beside me still
And I bless the day I met her first a tripping down the hill.
Refrain:
Mary in the evening, so sweet she came to me,
I turned around and took her hand to keep her company.
One evening I was walking in the hills above the town
When I met a lovely maiden as she came tripping down.
Refrain:
Mary in the evening, so sweet she came to me,
I turned around and took her hand to keep her company.
‘Twas on a summer’s morning that she came to my side
And I vowed I’d love and cherish her and she would be my bride.
Refrain:
Mary in the evening, so sweet she came to me,
I turned around and took her hand to keep her company.
It was on a winter’s morning when she passed away
And I’ve missed that lovely girl since then, every night and day.
Refrain:
