. Of Prussia Cove where I was born a song I'll here begin
2. Me father is a smuggler bold and well do he ...
3. To land a cargo of the goods he never thought a sin
4. And 'tis my delight on a moonless night to run the cargo in
5. And 'tis my delight on a moonless night to run the cargo in

6. John Carter is me father's name, the king of all his kin
7. He is an honest man and keeps his word through thick and thin
8. For mounted men and ... guard he doesn't give a pin
9. And 'tis my delight on a moonless night to run the cargo in
10. And 'tis my delight on a moonless night to run the cargo in

11. Our locker is the Rose and Crown; we've locked her down from rain(?)
12. A double button(?) to her, she is snug as any bin
13. To see the kegs she brings from France 'twould make a donkey grin
14. And 'tis my delight on a moonless night to run the cargo in
15. And 'tis my delight on a moonless night to run the cargo in

16. No mark of kegs nor sinking stone is ever seen within
17. Across the channel rough or smooth so sweetly do she spin
18. What joy me boys to land the goods nor lose a guilder kin
19. And 'tis my delight on a moonless night to run the cargo in
20. And 'tis my delight on a moonless night to run the cargo in

21. We've friends galore along the shore; there's dear old Squire Prynn
22. And every farmer near or far ...
23. And Parson ... don't despise a case of ...
24. And 'tis my delight on a moonless night to run the cargo in
25. And 'tis my delight on a moonless night to run the cargo in

26. For speed to all preventive spies from ... sands to ...
27. They'd saw a poor man's boat in half and joy to do him in
28. Why should they take the bread away we work so hard to win
29. And 'tis my delight on a moonless night to run the cargo in
30. And 'tis my delight on a moonless night to run the cargo in
