Blackguard and cooper, spinner of twine Swag on the table, bottles of wine From faraway vine Batsmen to protect every landfall We answer a flash from the land party's call Free trade for us all Don't cry my one Won't be long, I'll be gone Just one more run, then I'm done We battle the oceans and brave wind and rain Load in the darkness and set sail again For sweet home again Lugger and cutter, Ferry and raft As long as it floats it's a Smugglers craft A Smugglers craft Don't cry my one Won't be long, I'll be gone Just one more run, then I'm done Gin on my windows, rugs on the floors Ain't gonna pay no, for your dirty wars We bolt all the doors Home up the Hayle with hearts strong and brave Earning a crust upon restless wave From boyhood to grave Don't cry my one Won't be long, I'll be gone Just one more run, then I'm done
