Yellow lights are free and gladly Light the shadow grey behind me Can you help her walk away again Blue the colour of the water Mary and her devil-daughter Drinking rubies in the rain again
Oh Mary Don't you die Oh Mary Don't you die Cause of the colour of your eyes
Green the colour of the grasses Mary and her new blue lassies Come a-riding in the fall with me Grey the shades of all nights past me Rid the blood inside the old tree Come a-riding in the fall with me
Oh Mary Don't you die Oh Mary Don't you die Cause of the colour of your eyes
