Текст (слова) песни: Robin Williamson - The poacher`s song
Words and music RW 1978
Wake up Jamie strike a light For while you were lying dreaming IВґve been up the waterside All with the gaff and the lantern But the bailiff heВґs a restless man and terrible light in sleeping His dogs did bark and his guns did bang and damn but he had me running
and if the bailie comes today Inquiring for a salmon That maybe might have swum this way Snagged onto someoneВґs arm Just grit your teeth and squint your eyes HeВґll likely think youВґre smiling and take your hat into your hand and bid the man good morning Oh, aye, oh, aye, bid the man good morning
Invite him in for scones and tea and laugh at all his joking No need at all to let him see WhatВґs up the chimney smoking and if he should inquire for me For me or Johnny Brady WeВґve been away working several days and weВґll not be back till Friday Oh, aye, oh, aye, bid the man good morning Oh, aye, oh, aye, bid the man good morning
