[00:26.606] 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!
