Rasputina - The Female Smuggler lyrics
Your rating:
O come list a while, and you shall hear By the rolling sea lived a maiden fair Her father had followed the smuggling trade Like a war-like hero Like a warlike hero that never was afraid Now, in sailor's clothing young Jane did go Dressed like a sailor from top to toe Her aged father was the only care Of this female smuggler Of this female smuggler who never did despair With her pistols loaded she went aboard And by her side hung a glittering sword In her belt two daggers well armed for war Was this female smuggler Was this female smuggler who never feared a scar Now they had not sailed far from the land When a strange sail brought them to a stand 'These are sea robbers this maid did cry 'But the female smuggler But the female smuggler will conquer or will die Alongside then this strange vessel came 'Cheer up,' cried Jane, 'we will board the same We'll run all chances to rise or fall' Cried this female smuggler Cried this female smuggler who never feared a ball Now they killed those pirates and took their store And soon returned to old Eng-a-land's shore With a keg of brandy she walked along Did this female smuggler Did this female smuggler and sweetly sang a song Now they were followed by the blockade Who in irons strong did put this fair maid But when they brought her for to be tried This young female smuggler This young female smuggler stood dressed like a bride Their commodore against her appeared And for her life she did greatly fear When he did find to his great surprise 'Twas a female smuggler 'Twas a female smuggler had fought him in disguise He to the judge and the jury said 'I cannot prosecute this maid Pardon for her on my knees I crave For this female smuggler For this female smuggler so valiant and so brave' Then this commodore to her father went To gain her hand he asked his consent His consent he gained so the commodore And the female smuggler And the female smuggler are one for evermore
