Say Ohh na na!
As the ocean was a swollen I could hear the waves a calling
The calm before the storm stood silent, them trees are falling
The winds, them picking up and the howls growing louder
The winds, them picking up say goodbye to the flowers!
Said, You never really know
When Maria's gonna come
Said, when she's gonna roll
I said you never really know
When Maria's gonna come
Said, when she's gonna roll
As the west winds pick up, the cross breeze blowing
Ships set sail against all the sailors warning
Red sky at night, sailors delight
Pink sky in the morning watch the whole world crash!
Said, You never really know
When Maria's gonna come
Said, when she's gonna roll
I said you never really know
When Maria's gonna come
Said, when she's gonna roll
As the old sailor man he was a drinking once again
Them old weathered hands & the rum that bring him zen
Slurred mumbled words, he's got a story to tell
He said, This life, brought him happiness but it also brought him hell
He said, hey! How you doin son, you living by the ocean? I say
Living my dream, he said, with emotion
Nightmares are dreams too living by the ocean!
Nightmares are dreams too, living by the ocean!
Said, You never really know
When Maria's gonna come
Said, when she's gonna roll
I said you never really know
When Maria's gonna come
Said, when she's gonna roll
Pull up, skip town, lets get down
More bad weather been coming around
Got a 20 foot swell but a ten foot ship (Ship!)
Wisen for a foot but we couldn't move an inch
Got them black skies dwellin' above my head
Found most of the seamen, they wound up dead
Experience is key in the ocean blue
Get lost in space with you!
(Boom! Boom!)
You never really know
When Maria's gonna come
Said, when she's gonna roll
I said you never really know
When Maria's gonna come
Said, when she's gonna roll
As the ocean was a swollen I could here the waves a calling
The calm before the storm stood silent them, trees are falling
The winds, them picking up & the howls growing louder
The winds, them picking up say goodbye to the flowers!
Said woohhooo! Ya!
(You never really know
When Maria's gonna come
Said when she's gonna roll)
