isle of france (live) - nic jones lyrics
[verse 1]
oh, the sky was dark and the clouds advanced
when a convict came to the isle of france
and round his leg he wore a ring and chain
and his country was of the shamrock green
[verse 2]
“i am from the shamrock,” the convict cried
“that has been tossed on the ocean wide
for being unruly i do declare
i was doomed to transport these seven long years”
[verse 3]
“when six of them they were up and past
i was coming home to make up the last
when the winds did blow and the seas did roar
and they cast me here on this foreign shore”
[verse 4]
and then the coastguard, he played a part
and with some brandy he cheered the convict’s heart
“although the night is far advanced
you shall find a friend on the isle of france”
[verse 5]
so he sent a letter all to the queen
concerning the wreck of the shamrock green
and his freedom came by a speedy post
for the absent convict they thought was lost
[verse 6]
“god bless the coastguard,” the convict cried
“for he’s saved my life from the ocean wide
i’ll drink his health in a flowing glass
and here’s success to the isle of france”
