Yellow lights are free and climbing
up the sad old 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 her eye

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
Red 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 her eye
