The Ballad of Henry and Susannah (Part 1) Lyrics by Peter Bellamy

The Transports

0

Come all you gentle people and listen to my tale
Concerning a poor convict, from Suffolk he did hail
For fourteen years transported as you shall understand
For to lead a poor and wretched life upon Van Diemen's Land
Young Henry Cabell was his name and in Mendham he did dwell
His poor but honest parents, they reared him right well
Till cruel hardship overcome them and his father, in despair
For to feed his family did embark upon a wild career
