R.I.P. Mary Travers


Dear Mary Allin Travers (1936 to 2009).... When the stupidity, lies, greed, and endless warring of today gets me down I listen to you and Peter. and Paul, and your angelic voice gives me hope when I hear.....

Oh the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal and they'll know that it's for real
The hour that the ship comes in.

Then they'll raise their hands sayin', "We'll meet all your demands
But we'll shout from the bow your days are numbered"
And like pharaohs tribe they'll be drownded in the tide
And like Goliath, they'll be conquered.

Written by Bob Dylan and recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary
