Lyrics

They cross the marsh in the dead of night

Through secret passages hidden ways

Silhouettes caught in the pale moonlight

Bringing in goods for a crime that pays

If you hear them passing by

Not a word to the excise man

Take care not to catch their eye

As they hide from the laws of the land


A magistrate lives in the nearby town

His judgements stand and must be obeyed

He turns a blind eye as the deals go down

Made his money in the sugar trade

The owner of a big plantation

Till the trafficking trade was banned

Made a fortune in compensation

Now he delivers the laws of the land


Cover your tracks and leave no trace

Keep your head down and know your place

The ways of the world are hard and cruel

Keep your own counsel

Be nobody's fool


In court today is a serving maid

Who stole some bread to feed a hungry man

A year in jail for the time she strayed

She could have been sent to Van Diemen's Land

People of every station

All living on shifting sand

And who makes the determination

Win or lose by the laws of the land


Cover your tracks and leave no trace

Keep your head down and know your place

The ways of the world are hard and cruel

Keep your own counsel

Be nobody's fool
