lyrics
Haul now with all your strength
You know this river, the breadth and the length
Haul now with all of your might
You know these currents by day or by night
The river’s long, but the night is young
The moon is bright and strong
They’re waiting at the Peldron Rose
We’ll make it back by dawn
The pond it holds a hidden well
To hide the contraband
Backy and brandy lowered down
Till the revenue men are gone
Bravery has got its risks
The gallows creak a curse
There’s nothing like a good hanging
To give a man a thirst
The king and crown are rich enough
Still they turn us over
But we’d rather go out young and drunk
Than 93 and sober!
Old Williams lies in a shallow grave
An acorn in his mouth
The mighty oak that from him grew
Stretches out from North to South
In death he reaches out his arms
And gives us all his shade
We pour a glass down on his roots
So his memory won’t fade
You know this river, the breadth and the length
Haul now with all of your might
You know these currents by day or by night
The river’s long, but the night is young
The moon is bright and strong
They’re waiting at the Peldron Rose
We’ll make it back by dawn
The pond it holds a hidden well
To hide the contraband
Backy and brandy lowered down
Till the revenue men are gone
Bravery has got its risks
The gallows creak a curse
There’s nothing like a good hanging
To give a man a thirst
The king and crown are rich enough
Still they turn us over
But we’d rather go out young and drunk
Than 93 and sober!
Old Williams lies in a shallow grave
An acorn in his mouth
The mighty oak that from him grew
Stretches out from North to South
In death he reaches out his arms
And gives us all his shade
We pour a glass down on his roots
So his memory won’t fade
