lirik lagu ringlefinch - the prince of poyais
[intro]
gregor macgregor returned to london town
ten years in the americas, loch lomond skin tanned golden brown
a soldier and adventurer, i heard him often say
as he lulled our ears with tales of sweet poyais
[verse 1]
now poyais was a country on the verge of breaking good
with rivers full of gold, fertile fields and exotic wood
and they’d made the scot their prince, he told us there that day
as he asked us to hie hither to poyais
[chorus]
up and away! new land, new lifе! poyais!
they’ll think of us, they’ll say “luck, she lovеs the brave!”
heart high, head low! hold true, hold fast!
i know we’ve got some leagues to go, but he will lead the way ~
the prince of poyais!
[verse 2]
the day that we set sail, my folks all came to see
two strong ships all packed with goods, four hundred heroes, and me ~
a humble shoesmith late of fife, and soon enough to be
the royal cobbler to a whole country…
[verse 3]
i know, i know, i know, i know, oh hubris is the king of sins
i know, i know, i know, i know, can’t trust the sea, can’t trust the winds
we’ll claim our fortunes bold, though the storms may huff and puff ~
just a shame our prince couldn’t make it to the docks today somehow to see us off
[chorus]
up and away! new land, new life! poyais!
they’ll think of us, they’ll say “luck, she loves the brave!”
heart high, head low! hold true, hold fast!
i know we’ve got some leagues to go, but he showed us the way ~
the prince of poyais!
[verse 4]
the call came down “land ho!”, and we ran to the side
champing hard to see, hearts hammering, as one man cried
“but where are all the fields and trees?” ~ for it was plain as day
there was naught but bog and bugs in all poyais
[verse 5]
we had no choice but to settle and stay, our passage was paid one way
no gold, to our dismay, and at first we thought there was some mistake
but the months starved by, fever set in and we started to die
and we came to see macgregor’s lie…
[outro]
death and decay! we’ll rot here in poyais!
they’ll think of us, they’ll say “those fools deserve their graves”
hands high, hearts low, the end is nigh i know
the devil take gregor macgregor and his greed ~
devil take poyais!
