Late to the party as usual! Lyrics as performed by CROWD and a great melody. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elTKqisXXCE The Smugglers Song Of Prussia Cove where I was born a song I'll here begin Me father is a smuggler bold and well do not him To land a cargo of the goods he never thought a sin And 'tis my delight on a moonless night to run the cargo in Yes 'tis my delight on a moonless night to run the cargo in John Carter is me father's name, the king of all his kin He is an honest man and keeps his word through thick and thin For mounted men and cutlass guard he doesn't care a pin And 'tis my delight on a moonless night to run the cargo in Yes 'tis my delight on a moonless night to run the cargo in Our lugger is the Rose and Crown; we bought her at Penryn A double bottom to has she as snug as any bin To see the stuff she brings from France 'twould make a donkey grin And 'tis my delight on a moonless night to run the cargo in Yes 'tis my delight on a moonless night to run the cargo in No marker keg nor sinking stone is ever seen within Across the channel rough or smooth so sweetly do she spin What joy me boys to land the goods nor lose a guilder kin And 'tis my delight on a moonless night to run the cargo in Yes 'tis my delight on a moonless night to run the cargo in We've friends galore along the shore; there's dear old Squire Prynn And every farmer near and far and matey at the inn And Parson Vegas don't despise a case of Hollands gin And 'tis my delight on a moonless night to run the cargo in Yes 'tis my delight on a moonless night to run the cargo in False speed to all preventive spies from Trescas and Selyn They'd saw a poor man's boat in three and joy to do him in Why should they take the bread away we work so hard to win And 'tis my delight on a moonless night to run the cargo in Yes 'tis my delight on a moonless night to run the cargo in
