Tell Uncle John şarkı sözleri

Tell Uncle John the Sweet Mary's gone Tell Uncle John the Sweet Mary's gone She was docked in the river But the waters were much too strong Tell Uncle John the Sweet Mary's gone Uncle loved that ship More than he ever loved his girl Used to tell us how he sailed it Throughout this whole wide world Now, I've never seen old John Leave his bottle or his home But, tell Uncle John the Sweet Mary's gone Word 'round town Says that boat never saw the sea Though John would always board it And in very good company And the ship would be rocking From dusk 'til the early dawn Tell Uncle John the Sweet Mary's gone Tell uncle John the Sweet Mary's gone Tell uncle John the Sweet Mary's gone She was found in the rocks Not a piece had survived the stones Tell Uncle John the Sweet Mary's gone When Uncle heard the news He ran to the riverside While right behind her husband Aunt Mary couldn't hide a smile She said: John, you old fool Don't you know what I can do? Now you oughta learn not to be untrue! Tell Uncle John the Sweet Mary's gone Tell Uncle John the Sweet Mary's gone Gone, like the ship Was his wife and his happy home Tell Uncle John the Sweet Mary's gone Tell Uncle John the Sweet Mary's gone Tell Uncle John the Sweet Mary's gone She was found in the rocks Not a piece had survived the stones Tell uncle John the Sweet Mary's gone
