Bloody Mary
De Sjonnies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
vloeken en zuchten gelijk één man
overal waar ze kwam schopten ze herrie
ze kon zeilen zoals nu nog niemand kan
ze heten bloody mary
ze was de schrik der zee
dus drink op bloody mary
voor haar schip verscheen was ze erg aan't knokken
niemand ontsnapte levend aan 't gevecht
beloningen konden helaas geen mensen meer lokken
want iedereen was aan het leven weer gehecht
ze heten bloody mary
ze was de schrik der zee
dus drink op bloody mary
en op alles wat ze deed
maar op zekere dag 't was net na het eten
viel mary over boord en ging toen heen
ze kon niet zwemmen, dat was ze vergeten
daarom zonk ze naar de diepte gelijk één steen
dat was dan bloody mary
ze was de schrik der zee
dus drink op bloody mary
en op alles wat ze deed
