Gentle Mary

By sweet briar and tangled vetch
Lay the body of gentle Mary
The sun crept by the rivers edge
Gentle Mary with a favor to fetch
cho: :Lay down in the grass gentle Mary
Lay your doll down by your side
Hold onto you heart while it still beats
Close your eyes by the river wide
Near peat and sharpened willow
By the hilly fields of green
She disappeared down a hollow
Never again to be seen
Uncle Fred did wait by hilly fields edge
A red fox knew the scent of death
And the wet fern of her hair did rest
So gently in the long, long grass (cho.)
To and fro paced a man in dark attire
Mrs Morton saw him changing clothes
His eyes were flames, his soul afire
The sight of him made her blood run cold
He'd left a trail like a body of Braille
For Mr. Rutherford to trace
The neighbors soon called off the search
When they came upon sweet Mary's face (cho.)
A shilling and three halfpennies
Were among the items they found
And a piece of bread placed in her open mouth
To keep her from making a sound
A wind whisked across the rivers’ veins
As the sun sank through the sky
Mr Rutherford placed the shilling on her mouth
And the halfpennies on her eyes (cho.)
Thomas Nicholson stood in the old courtroom
Sentenced to a gallows fate
He never realized his doom
A smile beamed upon his face
And so it was on Middlestone Moor
On a Thursday in late 02
Thomas Nicholson hanging by a rope
As the cold northern wind around him blew
She will never breathe again
Nor get to be a bride
The girl prune stones for her teeth
And earth stones now for her eyes
Lay down in the grass gentle Mary
Lay your doll down by your side
The heart you held no longer beating
Sleep forever by the river wide
