[Dm]It's of a bold young smuggler
[C]From Fortune he did sail
[C]He rode the waves from St. Pierre
[Dm]And never saw the jail
[Dm]He filled her up with contraband
[C]Perfume, smokes and rum
[C]He hoped the fog was thick enough
[Dm]To make another run
(Chorus:)
[F]You can still see the sight
[C]On a winter's [F]night
[C]Of his wake [Dm]in the light of the moon
[C]If the wind turns right
[Dm]If you don't take fright
You can [F]smell that[C] French perfu[Dm]me
[Dm]But the Mountie boat was waiting
[C]As he crawled near Mortier Bay
[C]And when they hit the spotlight
[Dm]It was like the light of day
[Dm]He didn't bring her head round
[C]When they told him to heave to
[C]He opened up the engines
And [Dm]he ran for Spanish Room
(Chorus)
[Dm]They said they heard him laughing
[C]With the Mounties closing in
[C]His engines screaming murder
[Dm]And his face set in a grin
[Dm]The seagulls started lifting
[C]Like an angry banshee choir
[C]He hit the rocks at 50 clicks
And the [Dm]sky lit up with fire
[Dm]It's of of a bold young smuggler
[C]From Fortune he did sail
[C]He rode the waves from St. Pierre
And [Dm]he never saw the jail
[Dm]And when it's cold and foggy
[C]On the rocks near Spanish Room
[C]They say you hear him laughing
Dm
And you smell that French perfume
(Chorus (2x))
Enjoy!
