Conscripted as a sailor to fight the Spanish lee

And she'll watch the ships come in "หtill her William she doth see

She's now called walking Mary and she walks down by the shore
7
Her William's still not come back home it's now been four months more

And jumped a clipper ship one day to come back never more

And now she's first mate Marlin and the crew follow her lead

Until a fateful moment in a pub one day on leave
19
When she saw her William laughing there a lass upon his knee

When she saw her William laughing there a lass upon his knee

She screamed I'm angered Mary and out she pulled a gun

The flint it sparked the pan it flashed as William tried to run

She took his ship the seas to sail a Pirate to become

And now she's Devilish Mary a terror on the seas

And many a proud strong captain well she brought them to their knees

Beware the lass a spurned just once for she'll ignore your pleas

And take your ship set you adrift to drown in the salt sea

Yes she'll take your ship set you adrift to drown in the salt sea
31
Yes you'll walk the plank greet Davey Jones and drown in the salt sea
