Paroles de Mary Read

Hair tied low With mischief in her smile Dressed in man's clothes She told me of her life England born Regretfully a girl For if she’d been a boy A coffer she’d have earned And just like me They dressed her as a ‘Tom’ She ran off to sea First chance she got She worked many schooners She joined the cavalry She clad from man to woman Whatever made her free Whoa Such a girl I’d never seen Whoa Fistful life, pistol keen Whoa Such a friend there’d never been Whoa Than the likes of Mary Read And when we met I felt a sudden union Sister and a friend Kindred companion She taught me a lot Reminded me to laugh And she was my love Right next to Jack Whoa Her name was Mary Read Whoa Sister pirate queen Whoa Such a friend there’d never been Who Than the likes of Mary Read Whoa Her name was Mary Read Whoa Sister pirate queen Whoa Such a friend there’d never been Who Than the likes of Mary Read Whoa Her name was Mary Read Whoa Sister pirate queen Whoa Such a friend there’d never been Who Than the likes of Mary Read
