The Mary Beth
My Father Was A Sailor Man
He Sailed The Seven Seas
He Told Me Of That Stormy Night
How He Fled The Enemy
Away Ye Lads He Did Cry
Away Ye Lads Be Free
As He Sailed His Ship The Mary Beth
To Escape The Enemy
He Sailed Her On That Stormy Night
O'er The Mermaids Rocks Below
The Sea Was As Dark As The Devils Eye
Where The Angels Fear To Go
Away Ye Lads He Did Cry
Away Ye Lads Be Free
Into The Devils Eye They Sailed
Where No Man He Should Be
The Storm It Raged Throughout That Night
It Tossed Them To And Fro'
But The Bonnie Ship The Mary Beth
She Far Outpaced Their Foe
Away Ye Lads He Did Cry
Away Ye Lads Be Free
They'll Never Catch The Mary Beth
We'll Escape And Be Scot Free
The Enemy Ship It Followed Them
Into The Devils Eye
But It Floundered On The Mermaids Rocks
And All On Board Did Die
Away Ye Lads He Did Cry
Away Ye Lads We're Free
The Enemy Is No More Me Lads
That's Why There's You And Me
Instrumental
Away Ye Lads He Did Cry
Away Ye Lads We're Free
The Enemy Is No More Me Lads
That's Why There's You And Me
