Me name Mary Seacole, famous nurse
To de Crimean boys
No, me not Florence Nightingale
Dat mix up, me annoys
Me learn me skills ina Jamaica
Where me mother nursed de sick
And I tink it my destiny, child
To be a war medic
If you're coughing
You should have a drink with it
If your diet's poor
You should really tink upon it
If it's cholera,
Rehydration's best for it
If it's fever
Better take some rest for it
Wha-oh-oh, wha-oh-oh
Wha-oh-oh-oh!
When Crimean War broke out
Me apply for Florence's crew
She turn me down because me black
Yep, weird I know but true
History still says me name
Cos me not one to moan
Me ask me friend Thomas Day for help
And set off on my own
