Thread Name: Lyr Req: Crazy Mary (Michael Smith)
Subject: Crazy Mary from Londonderry?
In NON-trads, whotheheck wrote "Crazy Mary (From Londonderry)"?

I've got it on tape performed by Bonnie Koloc, but I don't have the original liner notes or attributions. The lyrics are clearly for a male singer, but she makes it beautifully haunting, and I've always loved it.

"Crazy Mary from Londonderry,
Lives next door to the cemetary, How many lovers have you buried?"
We would shout, and run away along the green and golden paths
That led us home, away from Crazy Mary.
