Lyrics for Mary Of The Woods
When I woke I thought of you Looked out of the window at this familiar view I watched the kites fly high above the steeples And the washing lines that float With sailor's clothes When I woke I thought of you. In the vale there's a meadow Where a rare flower grows Oh Mary won't you be my girl. And the sea there lies rolling Oh Mary it's a simple world. When your headscarf falls like this And the sunlight's on your lips Oh Mary won't you be my girl. I took a walk down to the parson's house Met the cooper and the priest on the way there They pointed up to the woods for you Oh Mary I'll find you somewhere.
