verse1
They called her black maria , Her real name was Maria Lee
The people of Boston loved her , She kept their city crime free
*
Black maria is a legend , On the boston scene
She had these prison cages , To keep Boston's streets so clean
*
The police used to love her , Because she always kept the peace
The prisoner didn't like her much , Because she gave them so much grief

chorus 1
A prison boat was sailing , Down into Boston docks
People on the bankside , Started throwing rocks
*
Prisoners started screaming , As the boat started to capsize
Nobody ever cared , If they lived or if they died

verse 2
People on the banksides were laughing , Thinking that it was a joke
Some prisoners were drowning , Some began to choke
*
Black maria tried to save them , She really was unique
The lady of boston , She couldn't really speak
*
The panic on board that boat , Was still ringing in her ears
The prisoners jumping off , Shedding all their tears

chorus2
A prison boat was sailing , Right into Boston docks
People on the bankside , Started throwing rocks
*
Prisoners started screaming , As the boat started to capsize
Nobody ever cared , If they lived or if they died

verse3
She used to arrest the drunks , And throw them into jail
Now she was so helpless , Knowing that she was going to fail
*
Prisoners chained up to the boat , Never stood a chance
The captain of the boat died , He came from Paris france
*
Black Maria loved Boston , She was their heart and soul
She protected all the people , She was their heart and soul

end
A prison boat was sinking , Down in Boston docks
People on the bankside , Started throwing rocks
Black Maria tried to save them , She managed to save a few
She was the first lady of Boston , When it was still brand new
She was the first lady of Boston , When it was still brand new
