Tommy Makem - Away to Mary Ann lyrics

I heard the rain on my window pane And ever as it ran It sang this song the whole night long Go home to Mary Ann [Chorus] Away, away, away, away Before the day is dawning If things go right this day and night I'll see her in the morning Where the sea birds soar by the rocky shore And the mountains meet the sea The four winds croon a lover's tune For Mary Ann and me [Chorus] I mind the day I went away My heart was torn between Her love so sweet and my wandering feet And those far off hills looked green [Chorus] But Mary Ann, sweet Mary Ann Was ever on my mind I rue the day I went away And left the girl behind [Chorus] Love can please and love can tease And love can turn your mind But old or new, a love that's true Is very hard to find [Chorus] Oh Mary Ann, my Mary Ann I'm coming home today Mary Ann, my Mary Ann I'm coming home to stay [Chorus]
