Lyrics of Mary of the South Seas by The Finn Brothers
She boarded the boat a long time ago
It opened her up to the world
But tmie goes so slowly
You won′t see it pass
A phone call from Dublin I'm with you at last
And I swear that I′ve always worked hard to be good
Just like I promised you once
And if I could spare you
You know that I would
Strange things can happen in this heat
Mary of the South Seas
Mary of the South
Mary of the South Seas
I feel your presence
Do you remember me
The sea is so swollen it's golden and silver
And all is a beckoning wave
The beauty contestant
On a ship from Southampton
The stars look so different from here
Mary of the South Seas
Mary of the South
Mary of the South Seas
I feel your presence
Do you remember me
I wish I could help you, it's hard to discover
The ones that you love slip away
So go on your journey
And when you recover
All the dreams that you′ve buried
Shall bloom in the day
Mary of the South Seas
Mary of the South
Mary of the South Seas
I feel your presence
Do you remember me
