Tobacco - Flogging Molly[00:00:00]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That haunt Tobacco Island[00:00:17]

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

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

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

Cromwell and his roundheads[00:00:38]

Battered all we knew[00:00:40]

Shackled hopes of freedom[00:00:41]

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

Darkens the horizon[00:00:45]

Blackened from the sun[00:00:47]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That haunt Tobacco Island[00:01:03]

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

Blistered burns the soul[00:01:13]

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

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

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

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

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

Cheap labor never breaks[00:01:22]

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

Cools the copper blood[00:01:25]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That haunt Tobacco Island[00:01:42]

Agony[00:01:43]

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

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

The air of home[00:01:52]

From this sandy edge[00:01:56]

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

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

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

Dark is the horizon[00:02:35]

Blackened by the sun[00:02:37]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That haunt Tobacco Island[00:02:55]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That haunt Tobacco Island[00:03:08]
