about

Mary Read took to sea as a pirate in the 18th Century. Originally disguised as a man, Mary took up with renowned pirates Anne Bonny and 'Calico' Jack Rackham. They terrorised ships in the Caribbean before being captured and sentenced to hang. Mary escaped the noose after 'pleading the belly' but died of a fever soon afterwards.

lyrics

Mary son,
what have you done?
You've joined the British Navy
Signed up to fight
Both day and night
No calling for a lady

Don't weep for me
It had to be
I'm off to find my fortune
I will return
Wind at my stern
With dollars and doubloons

---

Mary son
What have you done?
You took a British merchant
You're soon to learn
There's no return
For you they will be searching

Don't weep for me
It had to be
She was asking for the taking
From privateer
To buccaneer
No masters and no King

---

And she'll sail the Seven Seas
Take whate'r she please
Bound to roam
Not port to call home
Just the rolling ocean

---


Mary son,
what have you done?
You’re taken by a Tyger
For all his show in Calico
Ol' Jack he couldn't save ya

Don't weep for me
It had to be
I stood my ground full well
Farewell my drunken coward mates
I’ll see you all in hell

---

And she'll sail the Seven Seas
Take whate'r she please
Bound to roam
Not port to call home
Just the rolling ocean

---

Mary son
What have you done?
You look upon the gallows
you'll dance your jig
From scaffold rig
All stranded in your shallows

Don't weep for me
It had to be
I've no regrets, no woe
There's no remorse
In a steady course
If you live the life you chose

---

And she'll sail the Seven Seas
Take whate'r she please
Bound to roam
No port to call home
Just the rolling ocean
