One evening I was walking in the hills
above the town
When I met a lovely maiden as she came
tripping down.
Refrain:
Mary in the evening, so sweet she came to
me,
I turned around and took her hand to keep
her company.
Twas on a
summer's morning that she came to my side
And I vowed I'd love and cherish her and
she would be my bride.
Refrain:
Mary in the evening, so sweet she came to
me,
I turned around and took her hand to keep
her company.
It was on a winter's morning when she
passed away
And I've missed that lovely girl since
then, every night and day.
Refrain:
Mary in the evening, so sweet she came to
me,
I turned around and took her hand to keep
her company.
No matter what I do or say I won't forget
the past
My love for you my darling girl, it's going
to grow and last.
Refrain:
Mary in the evening, so sweet she came to
me,
I turned around and took her hand to keep
her company.
Now the evening light is failing, she walks
beside me still
And I bless the day I met her first a
tripping down the hill.
Refrain:
Mary in the evening, so sweet she came to
me,
I turned around and took her hand to keep
her company.
