Verse
A#7
It seems just like yesterday sailing from Brodick
D# A#7
Across the Atlantic in search of a wife and some land
A#7
But the New Brunswick winters are lonely and hard
D# A#7
So I followed the wagons out west with no money or plan
[Chorus]
D# G# D# A#7
I wish I was back on the Lochranza Ferry with long legged Mary
G# D# A#7
Breathing the spray and the sweet island air of the morning
D# G# D#
But I'm wasting away in this sweltering prison
A#7 G#
The mercury's rising and freedom's a dream
D# A# D#
That arrives and escapes with the dawning
[Verse 2]
A#7
I've worked on the railroad with Chinese and Irish
D# A#7
Slept in the pinewoods and heard the wolves screech in the dawn
A#7
But a Scotsman in Portland took all of my money
D# A#7
He sold me a cartload of candles he robbed from a store
[Chorus]
D# G# D# A#7
I wish I was back on the Lochranza Ferry with long legged Mary
G# D# A#7
Breathing the spray and the sweet island air of the morning
D# G# D#
But I'm wasting away in this sweltering prison
A#7 G#
The mercury's rising and freedom's a dream
D# A# D#
That arrives and escapes with the dawning
[Verse 3]
A#7
And I fell in with gangsters and dealers in moonshine
D# A#7
And soon they involved me in driving their wagons of booze
A#7
One night we were ambushed and I killed a black man
D# A#7
Now I'm in the jailhouse in one of the hard labour crews
[Chorus]
D# G# D# A#7
I wish I was back on the Lochranza Ferry with long legged Mary
G# D# A#7
Breathing the spray and the sweet island air of the morning
D# G# D#
But I'm wasting away in this sweltering prison
A#7 G#
The mercury's rising and freedom's a dream
D# A# D#
That arrives and escapes with the dawning
[Verse 4]
A#7
Sometimes when it's dark I remember Lochranza
D# A#7
And the days when the rain from Kintyre was a sheet without end
A#7
And long legged Mary is smiling beside me
D# A#7
And when they release me I think I'll go back there again
[Chorus]
D# G# D# A#7
I wish I was back on the Lochranza Ferry with long legged Mary
G# D# A#7
Breathing the spray and the sweet island air of the morning
D# G# D#
But I'm wasting away in this sweltering prison
A#7 G#
The mercury's rising and freedom's a dream
D# A# D#
That arrives and escapes with the dawning
