I heard the rain on my window pane
And ever as it ran
It sang this song the whole night long
Go home to Mary Ann
Chorus:
Away, away, away, away
Before the day is dawning
If things go right this day and night
I'll see her in the morning
Where the sea birds soar by the rocky shore
And the mountains meet the sea
The four winds croon a lover's tune
For Mary Ann and me
Chorus
I mind the day I went away
My heart was torn between
Her love so sweet and my wandering feet
And those far off hills looked green
Chorus
But Mary Ann, sweet Mary Ann
Was ever on my mind
I rue the day I went away
And left the girl behind
Chorus
Love can please and love can tease
And love can turn your mind
But old or new, a love that's true
Is very hard to find
Chorus
Oh Mary Ann, my Mary Ann
I'm coming home today
Mary Ann, my Mary Ann
I'm coming home to stay
Chorus
