about

Traditional

lyrics

Mary lay sleeping, her love came creeping
To her bedroom door so slow
Saying rise up Mary my lovely Mary
It's your charming Willie-o

Mary arose she put on her clothes
And to the bedroom door did go
And there she saw her own true
His face was as pale as the lily snow

Willie dear where are the blushes
That you had some time ago
Mary dear the clay has changed them
I'm but the ghost of your Willie-o

There they lay in deep conversation
'Bout their courtship years ago
They kissed they held each other and sorrowfully parted
Just as the cock began to crow

And as they lay in deep conversation
Down her cheeks the tears did flow
Mary dear now I must leave you
I'm but the ghost of your Willie-o

Willie dear when will we meet again
When the fishes
And the seas they run dry
And the rocks they melt in the sun
