There’s one of the great maritime mysteries
It’s the story of a ship in our dark history
Fire, collision, repaired and renamed
She sailed to her final journey’s end
Ship found adrift on December fourth
No body’s there; the crew is gone
Vanished in the night
She was gone from this world
Out of sight
Oh, across an ocean full of dreams
You shall not ever sail again
Sail away to a stranger manner of d**h
Carry on, carry on
Never to be found
Embraced and taken by the ocean’s breath
Mary Celeste
Swallowed in the mist of the night
Your fortune ever died
Dozens of tale’s been put forth since then
The crew and the captain, what’s happened to them?
Abducted or k**ed, no one ever knows
Grapevine goes on, but no one knows
Vanished in the night
She was gone from this world
Out of sight
Oh, across an ocean full of dreams
You shall not ever sail again
Sail away to a stranger manner of d**h
Carry on, carry on
Never to be found
Embraced and taken by the ocean’s breath
Mary Celeste
Swallowed in the mist of the night
Your fortune died
The story has grown like many tales
‘Cause all those people have gone away
Mary Celeste had a shadowy past
We will never know what happened at last
Sail away to a stranger manner of d**h
Carry on, carry on
Never to be found
Kissed by the ocean
Mary Celeste
Swallowed in the mist of the night
Your fortune died
Under the wide and starry sky
Dig the grave and let me lie
Glad did I live and gladly die
And I laid me down with a will to die
Sail away, never sail away
Carry on, carry one
Mary Celeste
Vanished in the night
Out of sight, all across
An ocean full of dreams
