She went down last October in a pou_-ring driving rain_
The skipper_ he'd_ been drinking and_ the M ate_ he felt no pain_
Too close_ to Three Mile_ Rock_ and she was dealt her mortal blow_
And the Mary Ellen Carter settled low__
There were just us five a board her_ when she finally was a wash_
We'd worked like hell_ to save her_ all_ h eedless of the cost_
And the groan_ she gave as she went down_ it caused us to pro claim_
That the Mary Ellen Carter would rise | __ again___

Well_ the owners wrote her off_ not a nickel_ would they spend_
"She gave twenty years_ of service_ boys_ then m et her sorry end_
But in surance paid the loss to us_ so let her_ rest be low"_
Then they laughed at us_ and_ said we had_ to go__
But we talked of her all winter_ some days_ a round the clock_
She's worth a quarter million_ af loat and at the dock_
And with every jar that hit the bar_ we swore we would re main_
And make the Mary Ellen Carter rise_ _ again_ _
Rise_ _ again_ _ rise_ _ ag a-ain__ th at her_ nam e_ not be lo st_
To the know_-ledge of men_
Oh_ those_ who loved her best_ and were with her_ ' til_ the end_
Will make the Mary Ellen Carter rise_ _|_ again___

All spring_ now_ we've been with her on a barge lent by a friend_
Three dives_ a day in hard hat suit and t wice I've had the bends_
Thank God_ it's only sixty feet and_ the currents here are sl ow_
Or I'd never_ have the strength_ to go_ be low__
But we've patched her rents_ stopped her vents_ dogged hatch and porthole_ down_
Put cables to her_ ' fore and aft_ and g irded her a round_
To morrow_ noon_ we hit the air_ and then take up the strain_
And make the Mary Ellen Carter rise_ _ again_ _
Rise_ _ again_ _ rise_ _ ag a-ain__ th at her_ nam e_ not be lo st_
To the know_-ledge of men_
Oh_ those_ who loved her best_ and were with her_ ' til_ the end_
Will make the Mary Ellen Carter rise_ _|_ again___

For we couldn't leave_ her there_ you see_ to crumble into scale_
She'd saved our lives_ so many times_ l iving_ through the gale_
And the laughing_ drunken rats who left her to a sorry_ grave_
They won't be laughing_ in_ another_ day__
And you_ to whom ad versity_ has dealt the final blow_
With smiling bastards lying to you e verywhere_ you go_
Turn to_ and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain_
And like the Mary Ellen Carter rise_ _ again_ _
Rise_ _ again_ _ rise_ _ ag a-ain__ th ough your hea rt_ it be bro_-ken _ [2x]
And life about_ to end_
No_ matter_ what you've lost_ be it a_ home_ a love_ a friend_
But the Mary Ellen Carter rise_ _|_ again___
