But we talked of her all winter, some days around the clock
6343, prime!
She’s worth a quarter million, afloat and at the dock
6344 = 23 × 13 × 61
And with every jar that hit the bar, we swore we would remain
6345
And make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again
6346 = 2 × 19 × 167
Rise again, rise again
6347
That her name not be lost to the knowledge of men
6348 = 22 x 3 x 232
All those who loved her best and who were with her till the end
6349 = 7 × 907
Will make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again
6350
All spring, now, we’ve been with her on a barge lent by a friend
6351 = 3 × 29 × 73
Three dives a day in hard-hat suit and twice I’ve had the bends
6352 = 24 x 397
Thank God it’s only sixty feet and the currents here are slow
6353
Or I’d never have the strength to go below
6354 = 2 x 32 x 353
So we’ve patched her rents, stopped her vents, dogged hatch and porthole down
6355 = 5 × 31 × 41
Put cables to her fore and aft and girded her around
6356
Tomorrow noon we hit the air and then take up the strain
6357 = 3 x 13 x 163
And make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again
6358 = 2 × 11 × 172
Rise again, rise again
6359
That her name not be lost to the knowledge of men
6360 = 23 x 3 x 5 x 53
All those who loved her best and who were with her till the end
6361
Will make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again
