Tommy Makem - Blue Eyed Mary lyrics

There's a black crow sitting on a bare oak tree And the winter sun is low And it's painting shadows on the old brown hills And the meadows down below But when Mary walks those misty fields It's like a summer's day For sunshine goes where Mary goes To light her on her way [Chorus] Blue eyed Mary, lovely Mary Blue eyed Mary, the love light of my soul There's a blackbird singing in a green oak tree And the song is sweet and clear To welcome crocuses and daffodils In the springing of the year But when Mary sings her golden songs The birds are hushed and still And spring is sweeter than before On every flowering hill [Chorus] Oh Mary is fairer than the brightest dawn Or the sweetest flower in May But it was her tenderness and gentle soul That stole my heart away And where Mary goes, I'll follow her 'Til time has ceased to be For yesterday, she kissed my lips And gave her love to me [Chorus]
