Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Mary Danced With Soldiers Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • She'd slip away each day with the dimming light
  • And with the sweetest smile she'd kiss the child goodnight
  • At the mill she'd work her fingers till they were raw
  • For the sake of her son and the daddy he never saw
  • Mary danced with soldiers
  • She stepped a light quadrille
  • Shawl across her shoulders
  • To keep away the chill, to keep away the chill
  • It was a rebel boy who brought her joy they say
  • Though the years had passed the memories stood fast each day
  • Before a bullet crushed the life of their romance
  • He gave her a shawl and a parasol from France
  • Mary danced with soldiers
  • She stepped a light quadrille
  • Shawl across her shoulders
  • To keep away the chill, to keep away the chill
  • They came around to the tavern in town that night
  • And with silent cries Mary never tried to fight
  • They cut her hair and left her body torn
  • Her spirit slipped away before the dawn
  • Mary danced with soldiers
  • But now her body's still
  • Shawl across her shoulders
  • To keep away the chill
  • Mary danced with soldiers
  • She stepped a light quadrille
  • Shawl across her shoulders
  • To keep away the chill, to keep away the chill
