Luyện nghe bài hát The Mary Ellen Carter

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