														   C G C F C G

The boat rides
south of Ailsa Craig in the waning of the light

F G C a F G

There's thirty men in
Lendalfit to make our burden light

C G C F
C G

And there's thirty horse in Hazleholm
with the halters on their heads

F G C a F G

All set this night upon your life if wind
and water speed.



Ref:

a C

Smugglers drink of the frenchmens wine

a
C G

and the darkest night is the smugglers
time

F C a

Away we ran from the
excise man

C F

It's a smugglers life
for me

C G C

It's a smugglers 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?

But must I use old homely goods while
there's foreign gear so fine?

Must I drink
at the waterside and France so full of wine



Though well I like to see you Kate,
with a baby on your knee

My heart is now
with gallant crew that plough through the angry
sea

The bitter gale, the tightest sail, and
the sheltered bay or goal

It's the wayward
life, it's the smugglers strife, it's the joy of
the smugglers soul



And when at last
the dawn comes up and the cargo safely stored

Like sinless saints to church we'll go, God's
mercy to afford

And it'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
