Karliene - Mary Read lyrics

Hair tied low with mischief in her smile
Dressed in mans 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 lifе, pistol keen
Whoa, such a friend there’d nеver 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
Whoa, than the likes of Mary Read

Whoa, her name was Mary Read
Whoa, sister pirate queen
Whoa, such a friend there’d never been
Whoa, than the likes of Mary Read

Whoa, her name was Mary Read
Whoa, sister pirate queen
Whoa, such a friend there’d never been
Whoa, than the likes of Mary Read
