Virgin Mary comes on strong

Hold my breath the whole night long

In the place where I don't care

Virgin Mary, take me there

I'll take a chance and climb aboard

The ship that sails unto your shore

You always take the highest road

Always carry the hardest load

Virgin Mary, let me feel

So real

Virgin Mary, snake pit gravy

Only you know how to save me

Rope a dope and rub a dub

Wrap me up in your love

Virgin Mary, where are you now?

It sure would help if you could show me how

To make it through this night alone

All trapped inside these bones

I'll take a chance and climb aboard

The ship that sails unto your shore

You always take the highest road

Always carry the hardest load
