MARY DANCED WITH SOLDIERS (Paul Kennerly) She'd slip away each day with the dimming light And with the sweetest smile she'd kiss the child good night After noon she worked her fingers till they were raw For the sake of her son and the daddy he never saw cho: Mary danced with soldiers, She stepped a light quadrille Shawl acrass her sholders To keep away the chill To keep away the chill It was a rebel boy who brought her joy they say Thourgh the years had passed the memories stood fast each day Before a bullet cost the life of their (?)old man He gave her a shawl and a parasol from France They came around to the tavern in town that night And with silent pride, Mary never tried to fight They cut her hair and left her body torn Her spirit slipped away before the dawn Mary danced with soldiers But now her body's still Shawl across her sholders To keep away the chill Recorded by Emmylou Harris and The Dirt Band on Will the Circle Be Unbroken volume two.
