Captain Reid

 This goes back to 2013 and I may have written other variations. Captain Reid discovered Lake Macquarie on his colonial built sailing ship called Martha.


CAPTAIN REID

Captain Reid made a mistake

When he steered towards the coast

He thought it was the river

Seen a bloke to be his host

Caught a fish and said hello

Introduced himself as Ned

Invited Reid to dinner

Who couldn't resist the spread


Captain Reid enjoyed himself

Ned was such a bloke

Fed the Pelicans on the lake

Before he discovered coke

He toasted to the future

Before Martha hit the trail

Back to Sydney town

With a bucket of coal for sale
