Karliene - Mary Read Lyrics

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
