Mary Kate

[Verse 1]
My mother and my father dear
Thank God you never saw us here
But we’re still alive, and some salvation
Might be at our hand

They’re sending workhouse orphan girls
Across the world, to New-South Wales
They picked me out, but won’t allow my little sister come

[Chorus]
So too-ria[?], my Mary Kate
Too-ria[?], my Mary Kate
I might see Australia
We will meet again some day

[Verse 2]
It’s only for your age, baby
They’d send you with the [?][?]
I know, I know it’s hard
But it’s the only chance we have

Let’s dry away these bitter tears
I won’t just go and lеave ya here
Stay strong for mе, the Miss will mind you
‘Till I send the fare

[Chorus]
And too-ria [?], my Mary Kate
Too-ria [?], my Mary Kate
I might see Australia
We will reunite some day

[Verse 3]
Thank you for your reply, Miss Anne
I’m grateful for the kindness that you showed to us
God found a true and honest soul in you

You nursed our little Mary Kate
When you had so much on your plate
In every prayer I’ll think of you
Until the day I die
I…

[Chorus / Outro]
And too-ria[?], my Mary Kate
I’m sorry so, sweet Mary Kate
You won’t see Australia
We won’t meet again some day

And too-ria[?], my Mary Kate
Forever now, sweet Mary Kate
You won’t see Australia
And we won’t meet in this life again
