I [G] wish I was back on [C] the lock [G] runs of ferry with long-legged [D] Mary
[Em] _ Breathing the spray and the [A] sweet island air [G] of the _ [D] morning
[G] But wasting _ away in [C] this sweltering [G] prison
The mercury's [D] rising, _ [C] freedom's a dream [G] that arrives
And escapes [D] with the _ [G] dawn
And [D] it seems just like yesterday, [A] Salem [D] from Brodick
[G] Across the Atlantic [Em] in search of a wife [D] and some _ land
But the new Brunswick winters are [A] lonely [D] and hard
So [G] I followed the wagons [Em] out west with no money [D] or plan
_ [G] I wish I was back [C] on the lock runs [G] of ferry with long [D]-legged Mary
[Em] _ Breathing the spray [A] and the sweet island [G] air of the _ [D] morning
[G] But wasting _ away in [C] this [G] sweltering prison
The [D] mercury's rising, [C] _ freedom's a dream that [G] arrives
And escapes with the dawn
_ [D] I worked on the railroad with Chinese and Irish
[G] I slept in the pine woods [Em] and heard the wolf creep to the [D] door
[C] _ [D] But a Scotsman in Portland [A] took all of [D] my money
He [G] sold me a carload [Em] of candles he robbed from [D] a store
[C] _ [D] And I fell in with [A] gangsters and dealers [D] in moonshine
[G] And soon they involved me [Em] in driving their wagons [D] of [C] booze _
[D] One night we were [A] ambushed and I [D] killed a black man
_ [G] Now I'm in the jailhouse [Em] and one of the hard [D] labor crews
[G] I wish I was back [C] on the lock runs [G] of ferry with long-legged [D] Mary
_ [Em] _
Breathing the spray and [A] the sweet island air [G] of the _ [D] morning
But [G] wasting away in [C] this [G] sweltering prison
The [D] mercury's rising, [C] _
freedom's a dream that [G] arrives
And escapes [D] with the _ [G] dawn

_ _ [D] Sometimes when it's dark [A] I remember [D] lock runs _ _
And [G] _ days when the rain from [Em] _ Kintyre was a sheet with [A] a _ dent
_ _ [D] And long-legged Mary who [A] smiled at me [D] _
slyly
_ _ And [G] when they release me [Em] I think I'll go back there [D] again
_ _ [C] _ _
[G] I wish I was back on the lock runs of ferry _ with long-legged [D] _ Mary
_ [Em] Breathing the spray and the [A] sweet island air of the [G] _ _ morning

sweltering _ [G] _ prison
