Verse
C7
It seems just like yesterday sailing from Brodick
F C7
Across the Atlantic in search of a wife and some land
C7
But the New Brunswick winters are lonely and hard
F C7
So I followed the wagons out west with no money or plan
[Chorus]
F A# F C7
I wish I was back on the Lochranza Ferry with long legged Mary
A# F C7
Breathing the spray and the sweet island air of the morning
F A# F
But I'm wasting away in this sweltering prison
C7 A#
The mercury's rising and freedom's a dream
F C F
That arrives and escapes with the dawning
[Verse 2]
C7
I've worked on the railroad with Chinese and Irish
F C7
Slept in the pinewoods and heard the wolves screech in the dawn
C7
But a Scotsman in Portland took all of my money
F C7
He sold me a cartload of candles he robbed from a store
[Chorus]
F A# F C7
I wish I was back on the Lochranza Ferry with long legged Mary
A# F C7
Breathing the spray and the sweet island air of the morning
F A# F
But I'm wasting away in this sweltering prison
C7 A#
The mercury's rising and freedom's a dream
F C F
That arrives and escapes with the dawning
[Verse 3]
C7
And I fell in with gangsters and dealers in moonshine
F C7
And soon they involved me in driving their wagons of booze
C7
One night we were ambushed and I killed a black man
F C7
Now I'm in the jailhouse in one of the hard labour crews
[Chorus]
F A# F C7
I wish I was back on the Lochranza Ferry with long legged Mary
A# F C7
Breathing the spray and the sweet island air of the morning
F A# F
But I'm wasting away in this sweltering prison
C7 A#
The mercury's rising and freedom's a dream
F C F
That arrives and escapes with the dawning
[Verse 4]
C7
Sometimes when it's dark I remember Lochranza
F C7
And the days when the rain from Kintyre was a sheet without end
C7
And long legged Mary is smiling beside me
F C7
And when they release me I think I'll go back there again
[Chorus]
F A# F C7
I wish I was back on the Lochranza Ferry with long legged Mary
A# F C7
Breathing the spray and the sweet island air of the morning
F A# F
But I'm wasting away in this sweltering prison
C7 A#
The mercury's rising and freedom's a dream
F C F
That arrives and escapes with the dawning
