Ship Mary Rose

Ship Mary Rose Paint me a picture of the Mary Rose, a fine ship A tall ship with full blown sails that’s on a far ocean trip. A wind jammer that’s weathered many gales On its way to China land for exotic tea A tall ship with full blown sails Clipper’s capacity a thousand tons is she Manned by the finest seaman this world has ever seen On its way to China land for exotic tea. Of all the ships that ever sailed she’s queen The Mary Rose out of Liverpool’s coast city Manned by the finest seaman this world has ever seen Of the Mary Rose that left port when it was cold and nippy “Away haul away, Oh haul away Joe” The Mary Rose out of Liverpool’s coast city That morn sky threatened a stiff blow Paint me a picture of the Mary Rose, a fine ship “Away haul away, Oh haul away Jo that’s on a far ocean trip.
