Storyline
Set in Australia's colonial era (1798--1812), the series is about Englishman, Jonathan Garrett, and his life as a transported convict, in the colony of New South Wales. Mary Mulvane, an 18 year old Irish girl, is transported to New South Wales for a term of seven years after attempting to take back her family's milk cow which had been seized by the British "in lieu of tithes" to the local proctor. She endures the trial of a convict sea journey to New South Wales and years of service as a convict before her emancipation and life as a free citizen.

Lyrics
If I where a minstrel
I'd sing you six love songs to tell the whole world of the love that we share

If I where a merchant
I'd bring you six diamonds with six blood red roses for my love to wear

But I am a simple man a poor common farmer
So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair
Yellow and brown, blue as the sky, red as my blood, green as your eye.

If I were a nobleman
I'd bring you six palaces with six hundred servants for comforting care
But I am a simple man a poor common farmer
So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair

If I where a minstrel
I'd sing you six love songs to tell the whole world of the love that we share
so be not afraid, my love,
You're never alone, love while you wear my ribbons tie'n back your hair

Once I was a simple man a poor common farmer I gave you six ribbons to tie back your hair

Tooralee, tooralie
All I can share is only six ribbons to tie back your hair

Tooralee, tooralie
All I can share is only six ribbons to tie back your hair
