Whoops meant Mary Ellen Carter ~~~~


"For we couldn't leave her there, you see, to crumble into scale.

She'd saved our lives so many times, living through the gale

And the laughing, drunken rats who left her to a sorry grave

They won't be laughing in another day. . .

And you, to whom adversity has dealt the final blow

With ******* censored ******* to you everywhere you go

Turn to, and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain

And like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again."

Sentiments understandable I think


Stan Rogers was a brilliant song writer and sang his songs with conviction as do many of our singers be they traditional or singersongwriter where ever life problems become overbearing** and we show due empathy
