- As you pour out a whiskey for the vessel that gave twenty years of faithful service, you dwell on the Mary Ellen Carter's fate, and a dim hope begins to emerge within your heart...
For once, I technically do own some of the audio! A cough, a snort, and some whistling. As for the rest, it's the same as before: scavenged from throughout TH-cam. I made the visuals in Photoshop.
Thank you very much to Dunraven, Justin Hall, Panaform, The American Revolution, Englebert Everything, Thomas Baldauf, Elliot Close, Aaron Dunne, Cyrus d'Vulture, and ya boy boutta turn israel into isnotrael for suggesting The Mary Ellen Carter.
'The Mary Ellen Carter' was made by Stan Rogers. You can listen to it here: • The Mary Ellen Carter
Lyrics:
She went down last October in a pouring driving rain.
The skipper, he’d been drinking and the Mate, he felt no pain.
Too close to Three Mile Rock, and she was dealt her mortal blow,
And the Mary Ellen Carter settled low.
There were just us five aboard her when she finally was awash.
We’d worked like hell to save her, all heedless of the cost.
And the groan she gave as she went down, it caused us to proclaim
That the Mary Ellen Carter would rise again.
Well, the owners wrote her off; not a nickel would they spend.
“She gave twenty years of service, boys, then met her sorry end.
But insurance paid the loss to us, so let her rest below.”
Then they laughed at us and said we had to go.
But we talked of her all winter, some days around the clock,
She’s worth a quarter million, afloat and at the dock.
And with every jar that hit the bar, we swore we would remain
And make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
Rise again, rise again, that her name not be lost
To the knowledge of men.
Those who loved her best and were with her till the end
Will make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
All spring, now, we’ve been with her on a barge lent by a friend.
Three dives a day in hard hat suit and twice I’ve had the bends.
Thank God it’s only sixty feet and the currents here are slow
Or I’d never have the strength to go below.
But we’ve patched her rents, stopped her vents, dogged hatch and porthole down.
Put cables to her, ‘fore and aft and girded her around.
Tomorrow, noon, we hit the air and then take up the strain.
And make the Mary Ellen Carter Rise Again.
For we couldn’t leave her there, you see, to crumble into scale.
She’d saved our lives so many times, living through the gale
And the laughing, drunken rats who left her to a sorry grave
They won’t be laughing in another day. . .
And you, to whom adversity has dealt the final blow
With smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go
Turn to, and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain
And like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again.
Rise again, rise again - though your heart it be broken
And life about to end
No matter what you’ve lost, be it a home, a love, a friend.
Like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again.
"No matter what you’ve lost, be it a home, a love, a friend.
Like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again."
We're all going to make it lads
I'm not so sure this time. I've really been weighing the options alot this go round, and it's objectively the worst it's ever been even if I'm not feeling that same desperation and hopelessness I would've before. Think part of me just doesn't wanna believe it, honestly. I've always pulled through before, but shit, how many times until I can't ya know? I don't know. I just know that the walls are closing in, and I'm low on hope. Pray to whatever gods you believe in for me, boys. I sure as hell need the help.
@@burninsherman1037 Hardships themselves aren't what bring us down in the end, it's the despair that can roll in with them if we're not careful. Whatever your situation, hold onto hope, and the light will come through the clouds eventually, even if you can't see it yet. I wish you all the best, my guy, you'll certainly be in my prayers.
@@lejammiedodgere I truly appreciate it, man.
@@burninsherman1037 I'm sorry to hear your going through a hard time of it lad. Important thing is to always be cultivating hope for something better. As the Romans used to say, "where there is life, there is hope". You'll be in my prayers mate.
@@burninsherman1037 Did you hear a bell? Did drill sargent say stop?
It ends when you say it does and not a moment before.
And like the Mary Ellen Carter, we'll rise again. Thank you 👍
Dude i missed your videos so much! Very glad that you didn't abandon the channel, you have a very special talent that brings people a lot of joy! Best wishes and please upload more
The chant of a thousand Canadians: turn to, and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain, and like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again! I say to all you boys out there, keep fighting, keep believing, keep loving. You are the most resilient people to grace this earth. 🇨🇦
The relationship between humans and inanimate objects got me acting strange
I must immediately join a ship to sail the seas to search for lost wrecks to give solace to her surviving crew and allow the crew who went down with her to rest in peace
Holy fuck he came back! :D i reccomend the song eight beers McGee
Here's a suggestion: Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald, but you're in a storm on Lake Superior, trying to get back.
You never disappoint with these videos, great job!
A favorite song, many's the time I heard her just like this - accompanied by the clinking of glasses and the laughter of friends.
Rejoice lads. He’s back.
May we all rise again!
