Hi, Sigurd - I thought I knew Harry Belafonte's music quite well, but that's one song I'm not familiar with. I found this site (click) that has a vast collection of Belefonte lyrics, but not "Mo Mary." It does show that the song is on two CD's.
Good luck.

A long time ago someone named Frank in Toledo said he had them, see this thread.

Dyer-Bennett sang it (very well). Words and music are in the old Dyer-Bennett Songbook which I (sadly) no longer have.

"Out on the hillside by the shelan, Mo mary my beloved" ...

Great song. My dim memory says Scottish Islands. I may be able to dig and find the words that Harry sang.

"Mo Mary, Mo Lenan, Mo Mary, My Beloved, On the hillside by the Shelan, Mo mary, my beloved."

CHEERS, Bob

"Mo Mary" appears on Belafonte's '"Mark Twain" and Other Folk Favorites', RCA LPM 1022. The album dates to 1954 [I can't believe I bought it all those years ago] and is long out of print.

But I have a worn duplicate copy, playable but not great. That cut is good. If you have a phonograph or turntable, I can be persuaded to let it go cheap.---John
