Lyrics
Once there was a ghost livin' deep within my heart
Came out at night, danced with me in the dark
Red, red, pale, white
Red, red, pale, white lips
Strode into the orchard, now was in full bloom
Just like two carefree, lovers do
Oh, Mary, dear Mary, I drink to you
Here I can taste your fragrance, and it goes down smooth
Red, red, pale, white
Red, red, pale, white lips
Oh meet, by the yonder tree
Oh sing, we used to sing
Now sway in the breeze
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Now you’ll be singin' softly when the workers arise
And all of the sowers gonna find me in the light
They gonna dig a hole, dig it deep and wide
To lay my achin' skin down by your side
Red, red, pale, white
Red, red
Red, red, red, red
Red, red, pale, white
Red, red, red, red
Oh, red, red, pale, white
