1
And they wandered in
2
From the city of St. John
3
Without a dime
4
Wearing coats that shined
5
Both red and green
6
Colors from their sunny island
7
From their boats of iron
8
They looked upon the promised land
9
Where surely life was sweet
10
On the rising tide
11
To New York City
12
Did they ride into the street
13
See the glory
14
Of the royal scam
15
They are hounded down
16
To the bottom of a bad town
17
Amid the ruins
18
Where they learn to fear
19
An angry race of fallen kings
20
Their dark companions
21
While the memory of
22
Their southern sky was clouded by
23
A savage winter
24
Every patron saint
25
Hung on the wall, shared the room
26
With twenty sinners
27
See the glory
28
Of the royal scam
29
By the blackened wall
30
He does it all
31
He thinks he's died and gone to heaven
32
Now the tale is told
33
By the old man back home
34
He reads the letter
35
How they are paid in gold
36
Just to babble in the back room
37
All night and waste their time
38
And they wandered in
39
From the city of St. John without a dime
40
See the glory
41
Of the royal scam
