She went down last Oct-ober in a pouring driving rain
2m 4 5The skipper he'd been drinking, and the mate he felt no pain
1 4 1Too close to Three Mile Rock and she was dealt her mortal blow
And the Mary Ellen Carter settled low
1 4 5 1There was just us five a-board her when she finally was a-wash
2m 4 5We worked like hell to save her, all heedless of the cost
And the groan she gave as she went down it caused us to pro-claim
2m 5 1 (1, 4, 5, 1, 1, 4, 5)
That the Mary Ellen Carter would rise a-gain
1 4 5 1
Well the owners wrote her off, not a nickel would they spend
2m 4 5She gave twenty years of service, boys, then met her sorry end
But insurance paid the loss to us, so let her rest be-low
2m 5Then they laughed at us and said we had to go
1 4 5 1But we talked of her all winter, some days a-round the clock
She's worth a quarter million floating at the dock
1 4 1And with every jar that hit the bar, we swore we would re-main
2m 5 1And make the Mary Ellen Carter rise a-gain
CHORUS 2m 5 1 4
Rise again____, rise a-gain____
5 4 1 5That her name not be lost to the knowledge of men
All those who loved her best and were with her 'til the end
2m 5 1 * (4, 5, 1, 1, 4, 5)
Will make the Mary Ellen Carter rise a-gain____

THE MARY ELLEN CARTER PAGE TWO
1 4 5 1
All spring now, we've been with her, on a barge lent by a friend
2m 4 5Three dives a day in a hardhat suit, and twice I've had the bends
Thank God, it's only sixty feet and the currents here are slow
2m 5Or I'd never have the strength to go be-low
1 4 5 1But we've patched her rents, stopped her vents, dogged hatch and porthole down
Put cables to her, 'fore and aft, and girded her a-round
1 4 1To-morrow noon, we hit the air and then take up the strain
2m 5 1 (1, 4, 5, 1, 1, 4, 5)
And make the Mary Ellen Carter rise a-gain
1 4 5 1
For we couldn't leave her there, you see, to crumble into scale
2m 4 5She'd saved our lives so many times, living through the gale
And the laughing, drunken rats who left her to a sorry grave
2m 5They won't be laughing in another day
1 4 5 1And you, to whom ad-versity has dealt the final blow
With smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go
1 4 1Turn to, and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain
2m 5 1 (1, 4, 5, 1, 1, 4, 5)
And like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise a-gain
FINAL CHORUS:
Rise again_____, rise a-gain____
5 4 1 5Though your heart it be broken and life about to end
1 4 5 1No matter what you've lost, be it a home, a love, a friend
Like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise a-gain
