lyrics

Mary, Mary, raven locks in the wind
Her lips were rosy red
No apron she wore around her waist
No bonnet top her head

She was wild, she was free
Not another lass did compare
But her heart belonged to a sweet young lad
To a lad from the County Clare

Gavin, Gavin, broad chest and strong arm
He stood tall, six foot three
He said, “Please my sweet Mary
Won’t you spare me a kiss?
So joyful I will be.”

She said, “Fellow, dear fellow
Kissin’ lips I can not spare
For mine were stolen long ago
By a lad from the County Clare.”

Allen, Allen, with the warm melody
Voice sweet as honeydew
He said, “Please my sweet Mary
Won’t you give me a dance?
Slip on your dancin’ shoe.”

She said, “Fellow, dear fellow,
Dancin’ shoes I cannot spare
For mine were stolen long ago
By a lad from the County Clare.”

Donald, Donald, pockets lined with pure gold
Richest in Kirkcaldy
He said, “Please my sweet Mary
Won’t you give me your hand
And share your life with me?”

She said, “Fellow, dear fellow,
My hand I cannot spare
For mine was stolen long ago
By a lad from the County Clare.”

Mary, Mary, raven locks in the wind
Tread down the River Spey
There rest the spirit of her sweet young lad
That’s where his body lay

She said, “Fellow, dear fellow
Love weighs more than I can bear.”
And she wept and she wept
Knelt before his grave in prayer

For her heart was buried long ago
With the lad from the County Clare
