Poor Nanny Cabbage


Poor Nanny,
Nanny Cabbage,
Running through the new
Streets of Sydney,
In her black skirt
And a red jacket.

Running from strangers
Reaching and grabbing.
Running through back streets,
To the edge of Town
She calls Tobegully,
Where two white men
Catch you, grab you,
Kill you on that fateful night.
