lirik lagu the jolly rogers - the smuggler (loose cannons)
[verse 1]
the boat lies south of wales a ways, she’s waiting on the line
there’s thirty men in lendalfit, to mark her full and bright
and there’s thirty horse at hazelholm, with the halters on their heids
we kept this night upon yon height, but will the water speed
[chorus]
smugglers drink on the frenchman’s wine
and the darkest night is the smuggler’s time
away we ran from the excise man
it’s a smuggler’s life for me
it’s a smuggler’s life for mе
[verse 2]
lassy has a cosy bed, and cattle he haе ten
and we must live a lawful life, or live wi’ awful men
and must i use her hamely goods, when there’s foreign gear sae fine
must i drink at the waterside, when france is full of wine?
[chorus]
smugglers drink on the frenchman’s wine
and the darkest night is the smuggler’s time
away we ran from the excise man
it’s a smuggler’s life for me
(oh it’s) it’s a smuggler’s life for me
[verse 3]
ah, would i like to see ye kate, with a baby on thy knee
but my heart is now with a gallant crew, who ploughs through the angry sea
and the bitter gales to tight our sales, the shelter there our goal
it’s a wayward life, it’s the smugglers strife, it’s the joy of the smugglers soul
[chorus]
smugglers drink on the frenchman’s wine
and the darkest night is the smuggler’s time
away we ran from the excise man
it’s a smuggler’s life for me
(oh it’s) it’s a smuggler’s life for me
[verse 4]
and when at last the dawn comes up and the cargo’s safely stored
like sinless saints to church we’ll go, god’s mercy to afford
and there’s champagne fine for communion wine, and the parson drinks it too
with a smile he prays “forgive these men, for they know not what they do”
[chorus]
smugglers drink on the frenchman’s wine
and the darkest night is the smuggler’s time
away we ran from the excise man
it’s a smuggler’s life for me
it’s a smuggler’s life for me
it’s a smuggler’s life for me
(oh it’s) it’s a smuggler’s life for me
