Lyrics 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
Text:
Ah, we found her smoking merrily
In the Balmoral Hotel
And we knew she was our only
One-eyed Northern Belle
And Willie at the head
Oh, we set to sea
A 1, 2, 3!
A new fine wench in the cabin bed
The kraken rising from the depths below
He never counted on Mary, from the snow
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
The kraken rising from the depth below
He never counted on Mary from the snow
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!
With arms the size of houses
They knocked us to and fro
We cursed out as the kraken
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
The kraken rising from the depths below
He never counted on Mary from the snow
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!
The kraken rising from the depths below
He never counted on Mary from the snow
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!
God rest your one-eyed soul
