"Lady Mary" (Traditional Folk Song) by Nina Ricci

This song request came from Ed Sanders from Colorado Springs, CO. "Lady Mary" is also known as "The Sad Song" and "Palace Grand." Lyrics He came from his palace grand He came to my cottage door His words were few but his looks Will linger for ever more The look in his sad dark eyes More tender than words could be But I was nothing to him And he was the world to me There in her garden she stands All dressed in fine satin and lace Lady Mary so cold and so strange Who finds in her heart no place He knew I would be his bride With a kiss for a lifetime fee But I was nothing to him And he was the world to me And now in his palace grand on a flower strewn bed he lies His beautiful lids are closed O'er his sad dark eyes And among the mourners who mourn Why should I a mourner be When I was nothing to him And he was the world to me
