Esther
I stole two piece of lace it was a short fall from grace 15 years old, a child sent away A child I was but a mother to be as well Newgate Gaol walls my babies's first home
New South Wales bound on the Lady Penryhn we were Below the water line, 100 women, my daughter and I 16, 000 miles, 8 months this dark, dank hole Starvation and disease knocking at our door
This is a woman's story in a man's time This is a gentle face in a brute world
Then I saw your eyes, kindsp and fair blue A Lieutenant above the decks but by cape town our love was true But the sadness in this land runs so deep In the penal hell hole I strive to make my home
But as the corpses pile high, our blessings are many 7 children, a home and a farm Though charged with mutiny, here I am free And almost 30 years since we met, I finally marry thee
This is a woman's story in a man's time This is a gentle face in a brute world
Leaden Hearts What is this place how hard is my fate? How galling this chain round my neck? Now I am bound to slavery 'Til I regain my liberty
Once i was a tender child on my mother's knee Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com But now I am prison bound for slavery No pen can write, no tongue can tell The aching heart that bids farewell Forget me not
When this you see, remember me Though many miles we distant be When this you see, remember me When this you see, remember me Please bear me in your mind I'll love til death shall stop my breath
Weep not for me with this heavy heart I am confined here with grief Though time may fly and hopes may die And joyful dreams may set, you I'll never forget
May time roll on, quick though it flew My love's constant true to you 'Til I am free and me you see No pen can write, no tongue can tell The aching heart that bids farewell Forget me not
When this you see, remember Though many miles we distant be When this you see, remember me When this you see, remember me Let not absence banish our love Cause I'll love til death shall stop my breath I'll love til death shall stop my breath
