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
