The Band Played Sweet Marie歌詞

作詞 : Reg Meuross
作曲 : Reg Meuross
I bought my love a violin so he could play for me
I bought my love a violin to calm the waves of the stormy sea
Though he’d be gone the longest time he’d return again to me
And every note my darling played
Took further away my love from me
My name’s Maria Robinson he called me Sweet Marie
And that’s the song that all night long my darling boy would play to me
All through that long remembered night I heard that melody
And the notes he played while the few were saved
Took further away my love from me
That ship went down to the mournful sound of my sweetheart’s violin
With no safety vest he strapped to his chest the case he’d placed it gently in
And the icy water froze his breath but it never froze his heart
By the song he played a pact was made my love and I would never part
I bought my love a violin so he could play for me
I bought my love a violin to calm the waves of a stormy sea
There are those who say Wallace Hartley played ‘Nearer my God to thee’
But our souls were bound as that great ship went down
And in my heart the band played ‘Sweet Marie’
In my heart the band played ‘Sweet Marie’
