lirik lagu mcginty - the nellie j. banks
[verse 1]
she left saint pierre on the tenth of may, prince edward island~bound
for the winter is done, and there’s very little rum in the harbours and the towns
and the fishermen watch for the dirty sail as they trawl on tracadie bay
and they give a great shout when they finally pick her out, “nellie banks is on her way!”
[verse 2]
there’s captain millerton at the helm, he comes from newfoundland
with a bottle of brandy always on the deck, and an extra case on~hand
he’s drunk and he holds a leeward stance, but he sails a schooner true
and the government cutters always fall astern when he shows what the banks can do
[chorus]
there’s rum in the hold of the nellie j. banks, prince edward island~bound
and late at night, when the moon don’t shine, you’ll find her off georgetown
[verse 3]
the government cutters they hug the shore, with a glass upon rum row
for they know nellie banks is out upon the bay, and the runner is sure to show
and millerton holds her four miles out, for the boundary it is three
and late at night, when the cutter’s out of sight, nellie slips into a lee
[chorus]
there’s rum in the hold of the nellie j. banks, prince edward island~bound
and late at night, when the moon don’t shine, you’ll find her off georgetown
ooo~ooo
ooo~ooo
[verse 4]
on an august night, in the pale moonlight, with the banks off short point shore
a shot rang out and a man began to shout, “heave to, or we’ll fire more!”
and the morning light bought a terrible sight, as the banks was towed away
no more will the nellie j. banks run rum, no more will the fishermen say
[chorus]
there’s rum in the hold of the nellie j. banks, prince edward island~bound
and late at night, when the moon don’t shine, you’ll find her off georgetown
yes, there’s rum in the hold of the nellie j. banks, we saw her sail today
you’ll find her on the night when the moon don’t shine, three miles off tracadie bay
