Luyện nghe bài hát The Mary Ellen Carter

originally performed by Stan
She went down last in a pouring driving rain.
The skipper, he'd been and the Mate, he felt no pain.
Too close to Mile Rock, and she was dealt her mortal blow,
And the Ellen Carter settled low.
There were of us aboard her when she finally was awash.
We'd worked like hell to her, all heedless of the cost.
And the groan she as she went down, it caused us to proclaim
That the Mary Ellen Carter would again.
Well, the owners wrote her off; not a nickel would spend.
She gave years of service, boys, then met her sorry end.
But insurance paid the loss to them, let her rest below.
Then they at us and said we had to go.
But we of her all winter, some days around the clock,
For she's a quarter million, afloat and at the dock.
And with jar that hit the bar, we swore we would remain
And make the Mary Ellen rise again.
Rise again, rise again, that her name not be
To the of men.
Those who loved her best and with her till the end
Will make the Mary Ellen rise again.
All spring, now, we've been her on a barge lent by a friend.
Three dives a day in hat suit and twice I've had the bends.
Thank God it's only sixty feet and the currents here are
Or I'd have the strength to go below.
But we've patched her rents, stopped her vents, hatch and
down.
Put to her, 'fore and aft and birded her around.
Tomorrow, noon, we hit the air and take up the strain.
And watch the Mary Ellen Rise Again.
For we couldn't leave her there, you see, to crumble scale.
She'd our lives so many times, living through the gale
And the laughing, rats who left her to a sorry grave
They won't be laughing in day. . .
And you, to whom adversity has dealt the final
smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go
Turn to, and put out all strength of arm and heart and brain
And like the Mary Carter, rise again.
Rise again, again - though your heart it be broken
And about to end
No what you've lost, be it a home, a love, a friend.
Like the Ellen Carter, rise again.
