[00:00.00]Mary Danced With Soldiers - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
[00:07.64]Written by：Paul Kennerley
[00:15.29]She'd slip away each day with the dimming light
[00:21.86]And with the sweetest smile she'd kiss the child goodnight
[00:29.06]At the mill she'd work her fingers till they were raw
[00:35.45]For the sake of her son and the daddy he never saw
[00:43.24]Mary danced with soldiers
[00:46.20]She stepped a light quadrille
[00:49.89]Shawl across her shoulders
[00:52.89]To keep away the chill to keep away the chill
[01:00.82]It was a rebel boy who brought her joy they say
[01:07.68]Though the years had passed
[01:09.68]The memories stood fast each day
[01:14.24]Before a bullet crushed the life of their romance
[01:21.43]He gave her a shawl and a parasol from France
[01:29.08]Mary danced with soldiers
[01:32.20]She stepped a light quadrille
[01:35.77]Shawl across her shoulders
[01:38.70]To keep away the chill to keep away the chill
[02:01.28]They came around to the tavern in town that night
[02:07.55]And with silent cries Mary never tried to fight
[02:14.43]They cut her hair and left her body torn
[02:21.15]Her spirit slipped away before the dawn
[02:29.03]Mary danced with soldiers
[02:32.30]But now her body's still
[02:35.81]Shawl across her shoulders
[02:39.06]To keep away the chill
[02:42.68]Mary danced with soldiers
[02:45.75]She stepped a light quadrille
[02:49.56]Shawl across her shoulders
[02:52.62]To keep away the chill
[02:56.27]To keep away the chill
