Yellow lights are free and gladly 

Light the shadow grey behind me 

Can you help her walk away again 

Blue the colour of the water 

Mary and her devil-daughter 

Drinking rubies in the rain again 



Oh Mary 

Don't you die 

Oh Mary 

Don't you die 

Cause of the colour of your eyes 



Green the colour of the grasses 

Mary and her new blue lassies 

Come a-riding in the fall with me 

Grey the shades of all nights past me 

Rid the blood inside the old tree 

Come a-riding in the fall with me 



Oh Mary 

Don't you die 

Oh Mary 

Don't you die 

Cause of the colour of your eyes
