She went down last October in a pouring driving rain |
| [00:31.177] |
The skipper, he'd been drinking and the Mate, he felt no pain |
| [00:35.613] |
Too close to Three Mile Rock, and she was dealt her mortal blow |
| [00:39.936] |
And the Mary Ellen Carter settled low |
| [00:44.092] |
There was just us five aboard her when she finally was awash |
| [00:48.778] |
We'd worked like hell to save her, all heedless of the cost |
| [00:53.216] |
And the groan she gave as she went down, it caused us to proclaim |
| [00:57.281] |
That the Mary Ellen Carter'd rise again |
| [01:08.366] |
Well, the owners wrote her off; not a nickel would they spend |
| [01:12.740] |
She gave twenty years of service, boys, then met her sorry end |
| [01:17.440] |
But insurance paid the loss to us, so let her rest below |
| [01:21.829] |
Then they laughed at us and said we had to go |
| [01:26.158] |
But we talked of her all winter, some days around the clock |
| [01:30.811] |
For she's worth a quarter million, afloat and at the dock |
| [01:34.920] |
And with every jar that hit the bar, we swore we would remain |
| [01:39.263] |
And make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again |
| [01:43.998] |
Rise again, rise again! |
| [01:48.231] |
Let her name not be lost to the knowledge of men |
| [01:53.061] |
Those who loved her best and were with her 'til the end |
| [01:57.208] |
Will make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again! |
| [02:08.689] |
All spring, now, we've been with her on a barge lent by a friend |
| [02:13.183] |
Three dives a day in hard hat suit and twice I've had the bends |
| [02:17.521] |
Thank God it's only sixty feet and the currents here are slow |
| [02:22.063] |
Or I'd never have the strength to go below |
| [02:26.308] |
But we've patched her rents, stopped her vents, dogged hatch and porthole down |
| [02:31.082] |
Put cables to her, 'fore and aft and girded her around |
| [02:35.450] |
Tomorrow, noon, we hit the air and then take up the strain |
| [02:39.469] |
And make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again |
| [02:43.974] |
Rise again, rise again! |
| [02:48.566] |
Let her name not be lost to the knowledge of men |
| [02:53.241] |
Those who loved her best and were with her 'til the end |
| [02:57.451] |
Will make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again! |
| [03:27.621] |
For we couldn't leave her there, you see, to crumble into scale |
| [03:32.054] |
She'd saved our lives so many times, living through the gale |
| [03:36.423] |
And the laughing, drunken rats who left her to a sorry grave |
| [03:40.874] |
They won't be laughing in another day |
| [03:45.251] |
And you, to whom adversity has dealt the final blow |
| [03:50.033] |
With smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go |
| [03:54.533] |
Turn to, and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain |
| [03:58.520] |
And like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again |
| [04:03.038] |
Rise again, rise again! |
| [04:07.628] |
Though your heart, it be broken, and life about to end |
| [04:12.201] |
No matter what you've lost, be it a home, a love, a friend |
| [04:16.551] |
Then like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again! |
| [04:20.845] |
Rise again, rise again! |
| [04:25.651] |
Though your heart, it be broken, or life about to end |
| [04:30.329] |
No matter what you've lost, be it a home, a love, a friend |
| [04:34.559] |
Like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again! |
