The Mary Ellen Carter Lyrics

Lyric discussion by alhanson 

Cover art for The Mary Ellen Carter lyrics by Stan Rogers

I have loved this song for years. I first heard it at a pub in Pictou NS while sailing tallships.

I think the last two verses say it all. Not matter what the cost, no matter what the view of others is. Stand up and do the right thing. Be accountable to what has done right by you.
