emmylou harris - mary danced with soldiers lyrics
she’d slip away each day with the dimming light
and with the sweetest smile she’d kiss the child goodnight
at the mill she’d work her fingers till they were raw
for the sake of her son and the daddy he never saw
mary danced with soldiers
she stepped a light quadrille
shawl across her shoulders
to keep away the chill, to keep away the chill
it was a rebel boy who brought her joy they say
though the years had p-ssed the memories stood fast each day
before a bullet crushed the life of their romance
he gave her a shawl and a parasol from france
mary danced with soldiers
she stepped a light quadrille
shawl across her shoulders
to keep away the chill, to keep away the chill
they came around to the tavern in town that night
and with silent cries mary never tried to fight
they cut her hair and left her body torn
her spirit slipped away before the dawn
mary danced with soldiers
but now her body’s still
shawl across her shoulders
to keep away the chill
mary danced with soldiers
she stepped a light quadrille
shawl across her shoulders
to keep away the chill, to keep away the chill
