[C]
There were three sailors, bold and true, with cargo they took free.
They sailed [Cm] away on the ocean [C] blue, for the love of Spanish Mary.
So deeply now were they disturbed, no longer could they swoon and swirl,
for the love of Spanish Mary,
[D] [Eb] [C] in Kingston town of high degree.
The buffoon, the floozy, all paid the dues and then quiet to me,
for the love of Spanish Mary.

[Eb] [Cm] Beggar man, beggar [C] man, [Cm] tell me no lie, is it a mystery to live,
or is it a mystery to die?

[Eb] [C] I seek ye now to ask of you, it was in Kingston town indeed,
[D] [Cm] it is said they stopped but not for greed, but [C] for the love of Spanish Mary.
[G]
[Gm] [D] [C] I remember well they came one day, the buffoon, the fool, the fairy,
[Ebm] they [G] asked of me what could I [Cm]
say, [Gm] for the love of Spanish Mary.
[Bb]
[C] Tis not a meme to talk absurd, no rumour to [Cm] read,
[Gm] [C] no I'll not give you one word, [Bb] but for the love of Spanish Mary.
