The Dreadnoughts
Mary the One Eyed Prostitute, Who Fought the Colossal Squid and Saved Us from Certain Death on the High Seas, God Rest Her One Eyed Soul
[Verse 1]
Ah, we found her smoking merrily
In the Balmoral Hotel
And we knew she was our only
One-eyed Northern Belle
With Shamus up the mizzen-mast
And Willie at the head
Oh, we set to sea
A 1, 2, 3!
A new fine wench in the cabin bed
[Pre-Chorus]
The kraken rising from the depths below
He never counted on Mary, from the snow
[Verse 2]
The sea was rolling merrily
Round the shores of Bowen Isle
Ah, the Swedish Bastard sang a song
That made dear Mary smile
Then I gave the sailor's prayer, me boys
We roared out in the rain
And below the sea
A 1, 2, 3!
The monster heard our sad refrain
[Pre-Chorus]
The kraken rising from the depth below
He never counted on Mary from the snow
[Chorus]
Oh Mary, the one-eyed cherry
Dawson City, we loved her so
Oh Mary, the beast was angry
And you stood ready
With a mortal blow!
[Verse 3]
With arms the size of houses
They knocked us to and fro
We cursed out as the kraken
Made to drag us down below
[Verse 4]
And the last thing that I saw before
I screamed our last good-bye
Was the redhead whore
That we adored
With murder in
Her one good eye
[Pre-Chorus]
The kraken rising from the depths below
He never counted on Mary from the snow
[Chorus]
Oh Mary, the one-eyed cherry
Dawson City, we loved her so
Oh Mary, the beast was angry
And you stood ready
With a mortal blow!
[Pre-Chorus]
The kraken rising from the depths below
He never counted on Mary from the snow
[Chorus]
She was Mary, the one-eyed cherry
Dawson City, we loved her so
Oh Mary, the beast was angry
And you stood ready
With a mortal blow!
[Outro]
God rest your one-eyed soul
