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
