Spanish Mary |
| There were three sailors, bold and true |
| With cargo they did carry |
| They sailed away on the ocean blue |
| For the love of Spanish Mary |
| So deeply now were they disturbed |
| No longer could they tarry |
| Swoon and swerve |
| For the love of Spanish Mary |
| In Kingston town of high degree |
| The buffoon, the fool, the fairy |
| All paid the dues and inquired to me |
| For the love of Spanish Mary |
| Beggar man, beggar man tell me no lie |
| Is it a mystery to live or is it a mystery to die |
| I seek ye not to ask of you |
| It was in Kingston town indeed |
| It is said they stopped but not for greed |
| But for the love of Spanish Mary |
| I remember well, they came one day |
| The buffoon, the fool, the fairy |
| They asked of me what could I say |
| For the love of Spanish Mary |
| ‘Tis not of me to talk absurd |
| No rumor do I carry |
| No, I’ll not give you one word |
| But for the love of Spanish Mary |
| Beggar man, beggar man tell me no lie |
| Is it a mystery to live or is it a mystery to die |
