Eighty Four Years of Age Songtext
von The Legendary Ten Seconds

Mary eighty four years of age
In the London News on the front page
Because of her unpaid naval pension
She walked to London with determination

From Newlyn Mary walked all the way
To the Crystal Palace for a shilling day
A determined mind she did not lack
With a wicker basket upon her back

Mary eighty four years of age
In the London News on the front page
Because of her unpaid naval pension
She walked to London with determination


She was in the Illustrated London News
After such a long walk did she need new shoes
Behold the wonder of her generation
The great exhibition such a great sensation

Mary eighty four years of age
In the London News on the front page
Because of her unpaid naval pension
She walked to London with determination

Her return to Cornwall was in great style
On a stage coach for every mile
Back to Penzance in Dock Lane
This Cornish lady had gained such fame

Mary eighty four years of age
In the London News on the front page
Because of her unpaid naval pension
She walked to London with determination
