Songtext von My Marie

I spent a lifetime in pauper's clothes Taking all of the grief I could bare Earthly fortune held no appeal Before my Marie She came to love me as no one would Love fanned my ambition for fame Her Dad told me I'd have to make good For my Marie I took to the Sea, stealing my way all around the world To make a fortune for my Marie And I'd always say, "This fortune is for the girl" My Marie I'd quite intended an honest man's trade But the mercantile life never paid So took to Pirate what others made For my Marie Thirty galleons and many a year Each man on my crew treated fair I sailed for home with a treasure & gold For my Marie I took to the Sea, stealing my way all around the world To make a fortune for my Marie And I'd always say, "This fortune is for the girl" My Marie I took to the Sea, stealing my way all around the world To make a fortune for my Marie Lost to a storm, only several miles from shore I would not make it home for my Marie
