Raising sails on my Mary McClyde
Watching the shores I am leaving behind
Towards the stars and the horizon combined
It's only her now I can trust
Raising sails on my Mary McClyde
Watching the shores I am leaving behind
I wonder how could this be
Or is it only me
I'll tell you bout my queen of the seas
What a fine strong beauty she is
It's only her now I can trust
I'll sail away, I'll sail away
I've got nothing more to say
I'll sail away, I'll sail away
I've got no reason left to stay
Sweqlling sails of my Mary McClyde
Where sea and heavens unite
I wonder what will I see
Or will it blind me
Winds grew stronger, stars went black
She swayed but I won't turn back
It's only her now I can trust
I'll sail away, I'll sail away
I've got nothing more to say
I'll sail away, I'll sail away
I've got no reason left to stay
Swelling sails of my Mary McClyde
Begged mercy but, I've been denien
I wonder what will it be
Will she betray me
At her mercy I stood on deck
With the rope coiled 'round me neck
It's only her now I can trust
I'll sail away, I'll sail away
I've got nothing more to say
I'll sail away, I'll sail away
I've got no reason left to stay
