D
But she came down a -runnin'
from somethin' up north
A
And got a job, paid a little more
D
than nothin' at all
A
D
She used to come down to the docks
just to watch the sunset
A
And I'll see you there

From St. Catherine's Day
A whole life ahead, nowhere to turn
A
D
That's how she came into my world
It took a little while
before I first saw her smile

And that was the day that

I fell
I was working my job,
A
D
two weeks or more,
A
out on the St. Catherine,
D
ninety miles offshore.
You know the work is hard
A
D
in the hours that are long
A
Your heart gets weak and
D
your hands get strong

D
I got in, I had to drive around town
A
I was looking for Mary,
D
but she couldn't be found
It was down at the daiquiri,
and I got in by surprise
A
He had his hands on Mary,
D
she had tears in her eyes
Well, took me out to the car
And they drove me away
A
I didn't even know what I'd done
D
Till I heard the policeman say
A
D
You better hope that it makes it
That it blows through
A
Or you ain't never gonna see her again
D

That I'll be the end of you

Well, I got me a lawyer
to get me out of that jail
A
But I had to put up with St. Catherine
D
to make my bail
it was two days later
and we were casting off the lines
A
leaving Morgan City
D
Bm
for the very last time
D

D
Early Sunday morning,
A
D
around first light
A
Out on the ride,
D
something didn't feel right
I'd never been this far,
out in the Gulf of Mexico
A
When a voice in Spanish
D
came on my radio
Well, I looked up and met her
Her hair was blowin' in the wind
A
We both knew
D
we could never go back again
It was fifteen miles from Havana
In the Cuban Coast
A
D
The St. Catharines turn into a ghost
A
