From the recording The Life and Death of Mary Read

Lyrics

Have you seen the footboy that Mrs Calvet got today?
He’s thin and shy, but does his chores impeccably they say

Hmm He’s an unusual boy
Mary, you’re a long way from Birmingham

There’s a new sailor on the Royal Anne that no one seems to know
No impressment needed, he just showed up on his own

Hmm… he’s an unusual lad
Mary, you’re a long way from Birmingham

All the cavalry cadets have gathered in the mess
He’s in a corner all alone, but smiling nonetheless

Hmm… he’s an unusual man
Mary, you’re a long way from Birmingham
There was a girl from Birmingham that no one’s ever met
She disappeared, became a ghost, to keep her mother out of debt

Mm… he’s an unusual boy
Mary, you’re a long way from Birmingham
Mary, you’re a long way from Birmingham
Mary, you’re a long way from Birmingham
