Crazy Mary from Londonderry Lives next door to a cemetery How many lovers have you buried We would shout running scared Along the green and golden paths That took us home from Crazy Mary
In the lamplight burning low Dimly through enchanted woods She would write beside the fire That was never lit As we ran by Pretending to be frightened We would laugh and shout at Crazy Mary (chorus)
But she would never answer us But smile through the window softly Wild-eyed and wild-haired But we were sure that in the dark of night She cursed us soundly Casting spells and such To turn us into donkeys - (chorus)
Michael Smith wrote this I believe in the early to mid-1970s since I knew it and performed it back then.
