Great Big Sea
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
It's of a bold young smuggler
2
From Fortune he did sail
3
He rode the waves from St. Pierre
4
And never saw the jail
5
He filled her up with contraband
6
Perfume, smokes and rum
7
He hoped the fog was thick enough
8
To make another run
9
[Chorus:]
10
You can still see the sight
11
On a winter's night
12
Of his wake in the light of the moon
13
If the wind turns right
14
If you don't take fright
15
You can smell that French perfume
16
But the Mountie boat was waiting
17
As he crawled near Mortier Bay
18
And when they hit the spotlight
19
It was like the light of day
20
He didn't bring her head round
21
When they told him to heave to
22
He opened up the engines
23
And he ran for Spanish Room
24
[Chorus:]
25
They said they heard him laughing
26
With the Mounties closing in
27
His engines screaming murder
28
And his face set in a grin
29
The seagulls started lifting
30
Like an angry banshee choir
31
He hit the rocks at 50 clicks
32
And the sky lit up with fire
33
It's of of a bold young smuggler
34
From Fortune he did sail
35
He rode the waves from St. Pierre
36
And he never saw the jail
37
And when it's cold and foggy
38
On the rocks near Spanish Room
39
They say you hear him laughing
40
And you smell that French perfume
41
[Chorus (2x)]
