A dress as red as red can be. I'll think of him when the Mary sails, And she takes him far away from me. A week and a month and a year go by; The stars go traveling 'round the sky. Won't weep, won't hear me cry, When the Lady Mary sails. And what will I wear when the corn's to cut? His old brown britches, tied with a string. I'll think of him when the corn's to cut And the geese are crying on the wing. CHORUS And what will I wear when the baby's born? His old white shirt to give me ease. I'll think of him when the baby's born, Whose daddy's gone to sail the seas. CHORUS And what will I wear when the Mary comes? A widow's veils and a widow's black. I'll think of him when the Mary comes: The man who won't be coming back. CHORUS And what will I wear when his stone's to set? Some ribbons off my wedding dress. I'll think of him when his stone's to set: It's one man more and one man less. CHORUS ----------------------------------------------------------------- Words and music by Goodenough and Muir, copyright BMI. Recorded by Ann Mayo Muir on "So Goes My Heart," FSI-99 copyright 1985. "I can't imagine a more lonely life than that of a woman married to a seafaring man, especially in the old days. She often had to endure years of separation, raising her children alone, while waiting for the day the returned - if he returned at all. Judy Goodenough's lyric describes a rare, stoic acceptance of this plight." - AMM @sailor @marriage filename[ MARYSAIL DC ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Lamoille River, Lancashire Lass, Land Of Libertie, Landlady Of France, Landladys Daughter, Landlords Daughter, Landlords Lullaby, Lani, Lanigans Ball, Lark In The Morning, Lass Amonst The Heather, Lass From The Low Country, Lass Of Loch Royale Lord Gregory, Lassie Gathering Nuts, Lassie Wi The Yellow Coatie, Last Bouquet, Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream, Last Trip In The Fall, Lavender Cowboy, Lazarus, Lazy Lout, Leaboys Lassie, Leather Bottel, Leatherheaded Songsters, Leatherwing Bat, Leave Her Johnny, Leaving Liverpool, Leaving Of Liverpool New Version, Leaving On A Jet Plane, Leftright, Leg I Left Behind, Legion Of The Rearguard, Lemon Tree, Lesotho Anthem Text, Lesotho Native Anthem Text, Let Him Go Let Him Tarry, Let It Be, Let It Snow, Let Me In This Ae Nicht, Let No Man Steal Your Thyme Thyme, Let Onion Be, Let The Lower Lights Be Burning, Let The Rest Of The World Go By, Let Union Be In All Our Hearts, Let Your Back And Sides Go Bare, Lets Go To The Woods, Letter Edged In Black, Letters From My Father, Liams Patriot Game, Liberty For The Sailors, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
