My Baby - Mary Morgan lyrics

The moon rose high The night grew cold The church bells they did sound Her sin and shame Though they remained Her hope grew stronger still Through the bars of steel Stars be not concealed One to bear the name Of her new born child, that never saw Saw the light of day She cried hmmm, she cried She cried hmmmmmm She cried hmmm, she cried hmmmm But her tears don't wash her sins away They walked her to The gallows lane People stood and cursed her name Many a poor soul has suffered for less Repentant to the judge she confessed Repentant to the judge she confessed For her baby girl She did put to d**h They'll hang her there tomorrow noon And there they'll write her name in stone For her crimes she will atone She will atone She cried hmmm, she cried She cried hmmmmmm She cried hmmm, she cried hmmm ooh But her tears don't wash her sins away She did cast Her final gaze Into the starlit sky That she proclaimed I hope I shall meet her bye and bye Meet her bye and bye She cried hmmm, she cried She cried hmmmmmm She cried hmmm, she cried oooh ooh But her tears don't wash her sins away
