Bloody Mary
Tom & Dick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vloekend en vechtend gelijk een man
Overal waar ze kwam schopte ze herrie
Ze kon zeilen zoals nu nog niemand kan
Ze heette Bloody Mary
En was de schrik der zee
Dus drink op Bloody Mary
Waar haar schip verscheen was het erg gauw knokken
En niemand ontsnapte levend aan 't gevecht
Beloningen konden op 't laatst geen mens meer lokken
Want iederen was aan 't leven meer gehecht
Ze heette Bloody Mary
En was de schrik der zee
Dus drink op Bloody Mary
En op alles wat ze dee
Ze heette Bloody Mary
En was de schrik der zee
Dus drink op Bloody Mary
En op alles wat ze dee
Maar op zek'ren dag 't was net na 't eten
Viel Mary overboord en ging toen heen
Ze kon niet zwemmen dat was ze vergeten
Daarom zonk ze naar de diepte gelijk een steen
Dat was dan Bloody Mary
Ze was de schrik der zee
Dus drink op Bloody Mary
En op alles wat ze dee
The song "Bloody Mary" by Tom and Dick is about a woman named Mary who is portrayed as a tough, fearless sailor who caused trouble wherever she went. The lyrics describe her as cursing and fighting like a man, and being the terror of the sea. The song highlights her sailing skills, suggesting that she was better than anyone else. The chorus of the song encourages listeners to drink to Bloody Mary and everything she did.
The second verse of the song further reinforces the idea that Mary was a fighter. Whenever her ship appeared, fights would break out, and no one would survive. The reward for capturing her became irrelevant because everyone was more attached to their lives. The third verse of the song, however, tells the story of Mary's demise. She fell overboard after dinner and couldn't swim, so she sank like a stone. The chorus is repeated, but now with a finality to it. Bloody Mary was the terror of the sea, but she is no more.
Overall, the song "Bloody Mary" is a tribute to a historical figure who was feared on the high seas. However, the way she is portrayed in the song is exaggerated and romanticized, thus making Mary the subject of a myth or legend.
