Mary Flynn Lyrics & Tabs by Cumberland River

guitar chords lyrics
When you cross that county line, there's a ghost you might not wanna find
Shipwrecked love from days gone by, wounded heart that just wouldn't die
She walks along that winding road, down toward the train yard where nobody goes
That's where her darling billy took her life, all because of another mans deceitful lies
She still roams these hills with the sound of a whipper whill
Searching for her love that was gone and left her alone
He laid her in a a shallow grave high on a ridge that very day
and with her bones he tried to hide his deceitful heart and her lying eyes
and a year to that very day, high on that ridge he went to her grave
she appeared and took his dying breathe all because of her heart that he stole at death
She still roams these hills with the sound of a whipper whill
searching for her love that was gone and left her alone
So my friend when your driving by that old train yard at the edge of night, don't slow down and don't look back you just might see her out by the track
She still roams these hill like the sound of a whipper whill
searching for her love that was gone and left her alone
So my friend when your driving by that old train yard at the edge of night, don't slow down and don't look back you just might see her out by the track
She still roams these hill like the sound of a whipper whill
searching for her love that was gone and left her alone
