《Tobacco Island》歌词

[00:00:00] Tobacco Island - Flogging Molly

[00:00:06] All to hell we must sail

[00:00:07] For the shores of sweet Barbados

[00:00:09] Where the sugar cane grows taller

[00:00:10] Than the God we once believed in

[00:00:12] Till the butcher and his crown

[00:00:14] Raped the land we used to sleep in

[00:00:16] Now tomorrow chimes of ghostly crimes

[00:00:17] That haunt Tobacco Island

[00:00:32] 'Twas 1659 forgotten now for sure

[00:00:35] They dragged us from our homeland

[00:00:37] With the musket and their gun

[00:00:38] Cromwell and his roundheads

[00:00:40] Battered all we knew

[00:00:41] Shackled hopes of freedom

[00:00:43] We're now but stolen goods

[00:00:45] Darkens the horizon

[00:00:47] Blackened from the sun

[00:00:48] This rotten cage of Bridgetown

[00:00:50] Is where I now belong

[00:00:51] All to hell we must sail

[00:00:53] For the shores of sweet Barbados

[00:00:54] Where the sugar cane grows taller

[00:00:56] Than the God we once believed in

[00:00:58] Till the butcher and his crown

[00:00:59] Raped the land we used to sleep in

[00:01:01] Now tomorrow chimes of ghostly crimes

[00:01:03] That haunt Tobacco Island

[00:01:11] Red leg down a peg

[00:01:13] Blistered burns the soul

[00:01:14] The floggings they're a plenty

[00:01:16] But reasons there are none

[00:01:17] Our backs belong to landlords

[00:01:19] Where branded is there name

[00:01:20] Paid for with ten shillings

[00:01:22] Cheap labor never breaks

[00:01:24] The silver moon is shinin'

[00:01:25] Cools the copper blood

[00:01:27] Where the livin' meet the dead

[00:01:28] And together dance as one

[00:01:30] All to hell we must sail

[00:01:32] For the shores of sweet Barbados

[00:01:33] Where the sugar cane grows taller

[00:01:35] Than the God we once believed in

[00:01:37] Till the butcher and his crown

[00:01:38] Raped the land we used to sleep in

[00:01:40] Now tomorrow chimes of ghostly crimes

[00:01:42] That haunt Tobacco Island

[00:01:43] Agony

[00:01:46] Will you cleanse this misery

[00:01:49] For it's never again I'll breathe

[00:01:52] The air of home

[00:01:56] From this sandy edge

[00:01:59] The rolling sea breaks my revenge

[00:02:02] With each whisper a thousand waves I hear roar

[00:02:08] I'm coming home

[00:02:35] Dark is the horizon

[00:02:37] Blackened by the sun

[00:02:38] This rotten cage of Bridgetown

[00:02:40] Is where I now belong

[00:02:43] All to hell we must sail

[00:02:45] For the shores of sweet Barbados

[00:02:46] Where the sugar cane grows taller

[00:02:48] Than the God we once believed in

[00:02:50] Till the butcher and his crown

[00:02:51] Raped the land we used to sleep in

[00:02:53] Now tomorrow chimes of ghostly crimes

[00:02:55] That haunt Tobacco Island

[00:02:56] All to hell we must sail

[00:02:58] For the shores of sweet Barbados

[00:02:59] Where the sugar cane grows taller

[00:03:01] Than the God we once believed in

[00:03:02] Till the butcher and his crown

[00:03:04] Raped the land we used to sleep in

[00:03:06] Now tomorrow chimes of ghostly crimes

[00:03:08] That haunt Tobacco Island
