The Black Stump Project - Steal Away

Nighttime, shoreline, darkness nothin' more
Traders are haulin', a cache upon the shore
Get caught, freetradin', and all of us will hang
Look sharp, we must get these barrels on the sand

Steal away boys steal away
Set your sails upon the seas
Steal away boys steal away
Set your sails upon the seas

Don't stand in judgement, we've had no food for days
The prices, there're asking, now how's a man to pay
Tradin' will feed us, through this winter and the wet
We'll take our chances, no Trooper's caught us yet

Steal away boys steal away
Set your sails upon the seas
Steal away boys steal away
Set your sails upon the seas

What's that, I see there, in the darkness and the fog
A bright fire, is burning, and barking of the dogs
Troopers, they've seen us, now run for your lives
Don't let them, catch you, for you will not survive

Steal away boys steal away
Set your sails upon the seas
Steal away boys steal away
Set your sails upon the seas

Steal away boys steal away
Set your sails upon the seas
Steal away boys steal away
Set your sails upon the seas

Set your sails upon the seas
Set your sails upon mighty seas
