The Smuggler's Song - Peter Dawson
If you wake at midnight and hear a horse's feet
Don't go drawing back the blinds nor looking in the street
Them that asks no questions isn't told a lie
Watch the wall my darling while the gentlemen go by
Watch the wall my darling while the gentlemen go by
Five and twenty ponies trotting through the dark
Brandy for the parson bacchy for the clark
Laces for the ladies letters for the spie
And watch the wall my darling while the gentlemen go by
And watch the wall my darling while the gentlemen go by
Running the woodlands if you chance to find
Little barrels roped and tied all full of brandywine
Don't you shout to come
And look nor use 'em for your play
Just push the brushwood back again
And they'll be gone next day
Push the brushwood back again
And they'll be gone next day
Five and twenty ponies trotting through the dark
Brandy for the parson bacchy for the clark
Laces for the ladies letters for the spie
And watch the wall my darling while the gentlemen go by
And watch the wall my darling while the gentlemen go by
If you do as you've been told likely there's a chance
You'll be give a dainty doll
All the way from France
With a cap of Alyintsin's and a velvet hood
A present from the gentlemen no longer being good
Five and twenty ponies trotting through the dark
Brandy for the parson bacchy for the clark
Them that asks no questions isn't told a lie
And watch the wall my darling while the gentlemen go by
And watch the wall my darling while the gentlemen go by
