The Fureys' album "Claddagh Road" lists Peter Arnold as the songwriter.


I REMEMBER MARY
As sung by Pete Arnold on "Children of the Dust" (Digmix Records, 2007)

The streets were dark and empty where I walked with sweet regret
Round the playgrounds of my childhood and the days I can't forget,
A ragtag child of romance who by the schoolyard stands,
Waiting for the moment he'd take Mary by the hand.

CHORUS: I remember Mary; does she remember me?
Though the seasons keep on changing, Mary never changed for me.

Oh, how things were diff'rent then in many special ways,
No clouds on the horizon, just the warmth of summer days.
The ragtag child is gone now but the child inside the man
Still dreams about sweet Mary and longs to take her hand. CHORUS

On the streets of Dublin city in the pressing of the crowd,
I saw Mary walking and called her name out loud.
She turned in my direction wond'ring where the voice came from.
Our eyes met for a moment; in a moment she was gone.

CHORUS: I remember Mary; does she remember me?
I'm a stranger now to Mary; she's a stranger now to me.

I like the thought there~~it deserves another spot at the top. Did you ever think of how many good songs there are about Mary?

Going Home To Mary
For Mary
Mary Of The Wild Moor
My Mary

DigiTrad lists 226 Mary references. (not all are from lyrics, of course)
