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 
 [bad word] 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  [bad word] a-riding in the fall with me 
 Grey the shades of all nights past me 
 Rid the blood inside the old tree  [bad word] 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
