[Break]G Well the owners wrote her off,C - D G Not a nickel would they spend,Am "She gave twenty years of service, boys,C D Then met her sorry end.G But in - surance paid the loss to us,C G So let her rest be- low.",Am Then they laughed at us, and,D Said we had to go. [Verse]G But we talked of her all winter,C G Some days around the clock.Am She's worth a quarter million,C D A - floating at the dock andG With every jar that hit the bar,Continúa después del anuncioC G We swore we would re - main andAm D Make the Mary Ellen CarterG rise a - gain!

[Break]G All spring now we've been with her,C - D G On a barge lent by a friend.Am Three dives a day in a hardhat suit, andC D Twice I've had the bends.G Thank God it's only sixty feet, andC G The currents here are slow, orAm I'd never have the strength,D To go be - low.G But we've patched her rents, stopped her vents,C Dogged hatch, and PortholesG down,Am Put cables to her, fore and aft andC D Girded her a - round,G To - morrow noon, we hit the air andC G Then take up the strain, andAm D Make the Mary Ellen CarterG rise a - gain!
