Verse
G7
It seems just like yesterday sailing from Brodick
C G7
Across the Atlantic in search of a wife and some land
G7
But the New Brunswick winters are lonely and hard
C G7
So I followed the wagons out west with no money or plan
[Chorus]
C F C G7
I wish I was back on the Lochranza Ferry with long legged Mary
F C G7
Breathing the spray and the sweet island air of the morning
C F C
But I'm wasting away in this sweltering prison
G7 F
The mercury's rising and freedom's a dream
C G C
That arrives and escapes with the dawning
[Verse 2]
G7
I've worked on the railroad with Chinese and Irish
C G7
Slept in the pinewoods and heard the wolves screech in the dawn
G7
But a Scotsman in Portland took all of my money
C G7
He sold me a cartload of candles he robbed from a store
[Chorus]
C F C G7
I wish I was back on the Lochranza Ferry with long legged Mary
F C G7
Breathing the spray and the sweet island air of the morning
C F C
But I'm wasting away in this sweltering prison
G7 F
The mercury's rising and freedom's a dream
C G C
That arrives and escapes with the dawning
[Verse 3]
G7
And I fell in with gangsters and dealers in moonshine
C G7
And soon they involved me in driving their wagons of booze
G7
One night we were ambushed and I killed a black man
C G7
Now I'm in the jailhouse in one of the hard labour crews
[Chorus]
C F C G7
I wish I was back on the Lochranza Ferry with long legged Mary
F C G7
Breathing the spray and the sweet island air of the morning
C F C
But I'm wasting away in this sweltering prison
G7 F
The mercury's rising and freedom's a dream
C G C
That arrives and escapes with the dawning
[Verse 4]
G7
Sometimes when it's dark I remember Lochranza
C G7
And the days when the rain from Kintyre was a sheet without end
G7
And long legged Mary is smiling beside me
C G7
And when they release me I think I'll go back there again
[Chorus]
C F C G7
I wish I was back on the Lochranza Ferry with long legged Mary
F C G7
Breathing the spray and the sweet island air of the morning
C F C
But I'm wasting away in this sweltering prison
G7 F
The mercury's rising and freedom's a dream
C G C
That arrives and escapes with the dawning
