And down by the sea Now all the tides have changed They'll drive us from our homes Into a rebel grave. And through the empty islands We'll sleep out on the moor For fighing against our country We'll be transported in shame. Oh they'll send us to heaven If we can't sent them to hell And for the love of my country They'll send me to a rebel grave. I've been hiding from the schooners And I can't come to my home 'Cos down there in the harbour Are people that I don't know And they'll try to catch us Condemt us to a broken grave. And the lights shine from the town But we can't see them again And I'm too young for hanging And I don't want to die. Just ot a silver button And that's enough for me And all I ever dream of Is what I can't see. And they've burnt all my memories Down where the wreckers crawl They've smashed down the doorways In the dead of night. And there's velvet in my pockets And there's dreams in my heart But they'll kill me if they catch me And they'll send me to the yard. And I'm too young for hanging.
