letra de the ballad of henry and susannah (part 5) - peter bellamy
it was in the month of january australia’s coast drew near
and in that fair clime the sun did shine, which filled their hearts with cheer
and soon in peaceful sydney cove at anchor they did ride
and admired the green and pleasant shore beyond the foaming tide
then up spoke captain philip, for so richly dressed was he:
“some man must bear me through the surf and keep me from the sea!”
then up stepped henry cabell, being one both stout and tall
saying, “captain, i will be that man and will not let you fall”
and so they sat them in the jolly boat and the crew did pull for land
and when they reached the shallows, henry o’er the gunwale sprang
he took the captain up on his back and he waded to the sand
the very first of exiles in that distant part to stand
and a fortnight later, henry took susannah for his wife
the comfort of his darkest days to comfort him through life
and when their years of sentence passed, their happiness did grow
with property, prosperity and children also
and so come all you gentle people who are lost in dark dismay
and remember that the blackest night must sometime yield to day
remember that the wildest storm eventually must pass
and like henry and susannah, may you find your joy at last
