Verse 1 Oft I heard of Lucy Gray, A child of mist and mountain air. Through the hollers, bleak and bare, She wandered free, none knew where. [doubled cello and banjo riff] Chorus Lucy Gray, fades like a ghost where the cold winds blow. Her footprints vanish in the frost, A lonesome soul, forever lost. Lucy Gray, lost in the snow Verse 2 Her lantern dim, the night so wide, She walked the ridge where shadows hide. No kin to call, no fire to warm, Just echoes caught in the storm. Chorus Lucy Gray, fades like a ghost where the cold winds blow. Her footprints vanish in the frost, A lonesome soul, forever lost. Lucy Gray, lost in the snow Bridge Some say she sings in the wind’s low moan, Her voice a haunt in the pines alone. Through ruined towns and rivers dry, Her spirit drifts ‘neath a broken sky. Verse 3 No grave to mark, no tale to tell, Just whispers where the wild things dwell. In dusk and ash, her name survives, A fleeting spark in the dark of lives. Chorus Lucy Gray, fades like a ghost where the cold winds blow. Her footprints vanish in the frost, A lonesome soul, forever lost. Lucy Gray, lost in the snow Outro O Lucy Gray, where do you roam? In this wasteland, you’ll ne’er find home. Through the fog, your shadow strays, Lost forever, sweet Lucy Gray. Lucy Gray, lost in the snow
