In london town there lived a sailor, some three hundred years ago.
He had a loving wife but left her,
But left her, to sail the ocean and return no more.
She'd born him a son but when he left, never to return again,
She laid with other men and so she found her belly blessed again.
She left the town to hide her
Secret, soon get birth of a doughter fair.
And by the name of Mary Read, and eternal story you will hear.
