Mary |
| When James the young boy died, I stole his clothes to hide |
| So I could escape this workhouse orphanage |
| 1791, nothing to do but run |
| So I cut off my hair and stole a horse to flee |
| Salford town, the law they tracked me down |
| And in this prison cell I sit as a boy |
| My gender soon found, i’m bought to the dock as mary |
| And sentenced to hang by the neck ‘til i’m dead |
| But luck soon intervened so my fate was to sail |
| On the Royal Admiral to Sydney Cove |
| I disguised myself again, to protect me from the men |
| Now 15 I arrive in this brave new world |
| With my learning history, I’m not sent to the factories |
| ‘Tis my first of many blessings in this land |
| Soon more good fortune, thomas reibey fell for me |
| And on the first day of spring of 94 we wed |
| We’ve comes from shared paths — he’s a bastard son, I’m an orphan |
| Now emancipated we start our family |
| This colony’s our home and a blessed on at that |
| Our wealth grows as we go from strength to strength |
| Virtue, hard work and liberty tis all you need |
| This is a city of women, we make it and define it |
| A widow with 7 children, I run the business and the home |
| And though grief has scarred my life I stand strong |
| I’m proud of my life, i’ve achieved more than i dreamed |
| In this new land of prosperity |
| I leave this life free with my wealth and my family |
| Though the road was rough and long, I stand strong |
