She'd slip away each day with the dimming light
G C G
And with the sweetest smile she'd kiss the child goodnight
C G
At the mill she'd work her fingers till they were raw
Em D G
For the sake of her son and the daddy he never saw

Mary danced with soldiers
Em
She stepped a light quadrille
C G
Shawl across her shoulders
Em C G
To keep away the chill, to keep away the chill
G C G
It was a rebel boy who brought her joy they say
G C G
Though the years had passed the memories stood fast each day
C G
Before a bullet crushed the life of their romance
Em D G
He gave her a shawl and a parasol from France

Mary danced with soldiers

She stepped a light quadrille
C G
Shawl across her shoulders
Em C G
To keep away the chill, to keep away the chill

They came around to the tavern in town that night
G C G
And with silent cries Mary never tried to fight

Shawl across her shoulders
C G
To keep away the chill
C G
Mary danced with soldiers
Em
She stepped a light quadrille
C G
Shawl across her shoulders
Em C G
To keep away the chill, to keep away the chill
