Testo Smugglers - An Cat Dubh
Testo della canzone Smugglers (An Cat Dubh), tratta dall'album 15
The boat rides south of Failtsa Craig
In the wanin' of the light
There's thirty men in Llandilfit
To make a burden light
And there's thirty horse in Hazelholme
With halters on their heads
All set this night upon your life
If wind and water speed
Smugglers drink of 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
Oh, lass, you have a cozy bed
And cattle you have ten
Can you not live a lawful life
And live with lawful men?
Oh, why must I use those homely goods?
This foreign gear is so fine
Must I drink down at the waterside
With France so full of wine?
Smugglers drink of 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
Oh, well, I like to see you Kate
With a baby on your knee
But my heart is now with that gallant crew
Who sail the stormy sea
Oh, the bitter gale and the tightest sail
That safely made our goal
It's the wayward scribe, it is the smuggler's life
The heart of the smuggler's soul
Smugglers drink of 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
Smugglers drink of 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
When at last the dawn comes up
And the cargo is safely stored
Like the sinless saints to the church we'll go
God's mercy to afford
And it's champagne fine for the communion wine
And the parson drinks it too
With a sly wink prays, "I forgive these men
For they know not what they do"
Smugglers drink of 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
It's a smuggler's life for me
