Crazy Mary Lyrics - David Allan Coe

Crazy Mary from Londonderry 

Lives next door to the cemetery 

How many lovers have you buried 

We would shout running scared 

Along the green and golden paths 

That took us home away from Crazy Mary 

In the lamplight burning low 

Dimly through enchanted woods 

She rocks beside the fire 

That was never lit and as we ran on by 

Pretending to be frightened 

We'd shout and laugh at Crazy Mary 

She would never answer us 

Smiled through the window softly 

Wild eyed and wild haired but we were sure 

That in the dark of night 

She cursed us soundly casting spells 

And such to run us into donkeys 

Crazy Mary from Londonderry... 

So it seems that older now 

We stand upon this wind swept moor 

The lonely grave before us testifies 

That Crazy Mary sings and dreams 

Her dreams somewhere but not 

Where little kids can follow after
