Version Mary

Virgin Mary comes on strong
Hold my breath the whole night long
In the place where I don't care
Virgin Mary, take me there

I'll take a chance and climb aboard
The ship that sails unto your shore
You always take the highest road
Always carry the hardest load

Virgin Mary, let me feel
So real

Virgin Mary, snake pit gravy
Only you know how to save me
Rope a dope and rub a dub
Wrap me up in your love

Virgin Mary, where are you now?
It sure would help if you could show me how
To make it through this night alone
All trapped inside these bones

I'll take a chance and climb aboard
The ship that sails unto your shore
You always take the highest road
Always carry the hardest load
