Jack Rattenbury
Jack Rattenbury the smuggler
Was born in the village of Beer
Where his family lived in poverty
With no comfort throughout the year
Jack Rattenbury the smuggler
Was born in the village of Beer
His father was press ganged
And was never seen again
Jack was the oldest child
And sought work with the fishermen
Jack became a smuggler
All around the coast of Beer
Chased by custom officials
Of the risks he had no fear
Jack became a smuggler
All around the coast of Beer
He was a local hero
Giving money to the poor
With lots of trusted friends
To protect him from the law
His memoirs were published
In eighteen thirty seven
And I wonder if Jack
Is a smuggler up in heaven
I do wonder if Jack
Is a smuggler up in heaven
Jack became a smuggler
All around the coast of beer
Chased by custom officials
Of the risks he had no fear
Jack became a smuggler
All around the coast of beer
He was a local hero
Giving money to the poor
With lots of trusted friends
To protect him from the law
Lots of trusted friends
To protect him from the law
Was born in the village of Beer
Where his family lived in poverty
With no comfort throughout the year
Jack Rattenbury the smuggler
Was born in the village of Beer
His father was press ganged
And was never seen again
Jack was the oldest child
And sought work with the fishermen
Jack became a smuggler
All around the coast of Beer
Chased by custom officials
Of the risks he had no fear
Jack became a smuggler
All around the coast of Beer
He was a local hero
Giving money to the poor
With lots of trusted friends
To protect him from the law
His memoirs were published
In eighteen thirty seven
And I wonder if Jack
Is a smuggler up in heaven
I do wonder if Jack
Is a smuggler up in heaven
Jack became a smuggler
All around the coast of beer
Chased by custom officials
Of the risks he had no fear
Jack became a smuggler
All around the coast of beer
He was a local hero
Giving money to the poor
With lots of trusted friends
To protect him from the law
Lots of trusted friends
To protect him from the law
