Mary Coughlan Lady In Green
A lady in a green coat interrupted his day
Floating in grey water in a most peculiar way
He looked without much feeling
But the cloths behind her head
Then he realized she was dead
Life is dear and much too short
Something has gone wrong
Why should a living lady
Choose to give it up and drown
He began to know her story
The reasons dull and grim
Despair each like a shadow
From her to him
It will darken every happy day
Now that he had seen
Life make another victim
A lady dressed in green
Life is dear and much too short
But something has gone wrong
Why should a living lady
Choose to give it up and drown
Give it up and drown
Give it up and drown
