smuggler - the mccalmans lyrics

[verse 1: singer 1, singer 2]
the boat rides south of ailsa craig in the wanin’ o’ the light
there’s thirty men in lendalfit tae mak’ our burden bright
and there’s thirty horse at hazelholm wi’ their halters on their head
all set this night upon yon height, if wind or water speed

[verse 2: singer 1, singer 2]
oh lass, ye hae a cosy bеd and cattle ye hae tеn
can ye no live a lawful live ta live wi’ lawful men?
but must i live with homely goods when there’s foreign gear sae fine
must i drink at the waterside and france sae full of wine?

[chorus: all]
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
[verse 3: singer 1, singer 2]
and when at last the dawn comes up, and the cargo’s safely stored
like sinless saints, to church will go, god’s mercy to afford
and there’s champagne fine for communion wine, and the parson drinks it too
with a sly wink prays, “forgive these men, for they know not what they do”

[chorus]
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
