In the sad blue line

In the deepest shade

Margaret Mary saddles

All our love away

The shallow moonlight sips

Her milky eyes

An' underneath the ground

The mother sends the child

And the rain buries the lonely night

And the rain buries the lonely night

And the rain buries the lonely, lonely August night

Makes a crossing sign

Of a Catholic kind

Have the neighbors heard

What our Hero enshrines

The shallow moonlight sips

Her milky eyes

And underneath the flowers

The mother sends the child

And the rain buries the lonely night

And the rain buries the lonely night

And the rain's very, the rain's very cold

Cold out tonight
