Rebel Grave
And down by the sea
Now all the tides have changed
They'll drive us from our homes
Into a rebel grave.
And through the empty islands
We'll sleep out on the moor
For fighing against our country
We'll be transported in shame.
Oh they'll send us to heaven
If we can't sent them to hell
And for the love of my country
They'll send me to a rebel grave.
I've been hiding from the schooners
And I can't come to my home
'Cos down there in the harbour
Are people that I don't know
And they'll try to catch us
Condemt us to a broken grave.
And the lights shine from the town
But we can't see them again
And I'm too young for hanging
And I don't want to die.
Just ot a silver button
And that's enough for me
And all I ever dream of
Is what I can't see.
And they've burnt all my memories
Down where the wreckers crawl
They've smashed down the doorways
In the dead of night.
And there's velvet in my pockets
And there's dreams in my heart
But they'll kill me if they catch me
And they'll send me to the yard.
And I'm too young for hanging.
Now all the tides have changed
They'll drive us from our homes
Into a rebel grave.
And through the empty islands
We'll sleep out on the moor
For fighing against our country
We'll be transported in shame.
Oh they'll send us to heaven
If we can't sent them to hell
And for the love of my country
They'll send me to a rebel grave.
I've been hiding from the schooners
And I can't come to my home
'Cos down there in the harbour
Are people that I don't know
And they'll try to catch us
Condemt us to a broken grave.
And the lights shine from the town
But we can't see them again
And I'm too young for hanging
And I don't want to die.
Just ot a silver button
And that's enough for me
And all I ever dream of
Is what I can't see.
And they've burnt all my memories
Down where the wreckers crawl
They've smashed down the doorways
In the dead of night.
And there's velvet in my pockets
And there's dreams in my heart
But they'll kill me if they catch me
And they'll send me to the yard.
And I'm too young for hanging.
