Lirik Lagu The Mary Ellen Carter – Stan Rogers
[Verse 1] A A/G# D E A
She went down last October in a pouring driving rain Bm D E
The skipper he’d been drinking, and the mate he felt no pain A A/G# D A
Too close to Three Mile Rock and she was dealt her mortal blow Bm E
And the Mary Ellen Carter settled low A A/G# D E A
There was just us five aboard her when she finally was awash Bm D E
We worked like hell to save her, all heedless of the cost A A/G# D A
And the groan she gave as she went down it caused us to proclaim Bm E A
That the Mary Ellen Carter would rise again
[Break]
G F# C / D / G / G/F# / C / D
[Verse 2] A A/G# D E A
Well the owners wrote her off, not a nickel would they spend Bm D E
“She gave twenty years of service, boys, then met her sorry end. A A/G# D A
But insurance paid the loss to us, so let her rest below.” Bm E
Then they laughed at us and said we had to go. A A/G# D E A
But we talked of her all winter, some days around the clock Bm D E
She’s worth a quarter million afloat and at the dock A A/G# D A
And with every jar that hit the bar we swore we would remain Bm E A
And make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
[Chorus 1] Bm E A A/G# (D)
Rise again, rise again
(E) D A E
That her name not be lost to the knowledge of men A A/G# D E A
All those who loved her best and were with her ‘til the end Bm E A
Will make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again
[Break]
G F# C / D / G / G/F# / C / D
[Verse 3] A A/G# D E A
All spring now we’ve been with her on a barge lent by a friend Bm D E
Three dives a day in a hardhat suit and twice I’ve had the bends A A/G# D A
Thank God it’s only sixty feet and the currents here are slow Bm E
Or I’d never have the strength to go below A A/G# D E A
But we’ve patched her rents, stopped her vents, dogged hatch and porthole down Bm D E
Put cables to her, fore and aft, and girded her around A A/G# D A
Tomorrow noon, we hit the air and then take up the strain Bm E A
And make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
[Chorus 1] Bm E A A/G# (D)
Rise again, rise again
(E) D A E
That her name not be lost to the knowledge of men A A/G# D E A
All those who loved her best and were with her ‘til the end Bm E A A/G#
Will make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again
[Verse 4] A A/G# D E A
For we couldn’t leave her there, you see, to crumble into scale Bm D E
She’d saved our lives so many times, living through the gale A A/G# D A
And the laughing, drunken rats who left her to a sorry grave Bm E
They won’t be laughing in another day… A A/G# D E A
And you, to whom adversity has dealt its final blow Bm D E
With smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go A A/G# D A
Turn to, and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain Bm E A
And like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again!
[Chorus 2] Bm E A A/G# (D)
Rise again, rise again
(E) D A E
Though your heart it be broken and life about to end A A/G# D E A
No matter what you’ve lost, be it a home, a love, a friend Bm E A
Like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again!
(Repeat 2nd Chorus, with feeling on second ‘rise again’)
