Personally, I have no doubt this is the best song ever written about sailing and pirates.
I marked the keywords in the lyrics, as relating to sailing, (dreaming of) treasures, and the Caribbean.
What's in common - Mary vs New Voyage - is the same fundamental crave (treasure & knowledge) that drives Mary to become a corsair and Dampier a pirate.
We are all scientists and adventurers at heart - traveling, communicating, and understanding - that's how we evolved to become who we are today.
Mary is a sailor Dreaming of northern shores Lost galleons on the sea Mary ever on her way
northern shores: caribbean 🌎
O can you sail and come back O can you leave away Temples of gold and hidden lands Mary I don't want to wait
Knocking on the door, he came by Knocking on the door, he tried out Knocking on the door, he turned back Mary, won't you marry me?
Mary is a corsair Dreaming of (old) treasures Wild tempest on the sea Mary ever on her way
corsair: pirate, i always thought the word is perfect for female
O can you hear the foghorn O can you see the waves Ivory foam and gloomy rain Mary I don't want to wait
[2x] Knocking on the door, he came by Knocking on the door, he tried out Knocking on the door, he turned back Mary, won't you marry me?
Mary was a sailor But she is drowned to die She sleeps under the sea Mary ever on her way
Waited for a long time Longed to see her face My love's under the sea She will never marry me
Oh Mary... Oh Mary... Tell me just one... Mary, won't you marry me?
[2x] Knocking on the door, he came by Knocking on the door, he tried out Knocking on the door, he turned back Mary, won't you marry me?
Mary was a sailor Dreaming of northern shores Lost galleons on the sea Mary ever on her way
Mary was a sailor She sleeps under the sea
Mary was a sailor Dreaming of northern shores Lost galleons on the sea Mary ever on her way
