French Perfume
-Great Big Sea
Tabbed by: TapdancingJayses
AmIt's of a bold young smuggler
GFrom Fortune he did sail
GHe rode the waves from St. Pierre
AmAnd never saw the jail
AmHe filled her up with contraband
GPerfume, smokes and rum
GHe hoped the fog was thick enough
AmTo make another run
[Chorus:]
CYou can still see the sight
GOn a winter's Cnight
GOf his wake Amin the light of the moon
GIf the wind turns right
AmIf you don't take fright
You can Csmell thatG French perfuAmme
AmBut the Mountie boat was waiting
GAs he crawled near Mortier Bay
GAnd when they hit the spotlight
AmIt was like the light of day
AmHe didn't bring her head round
GWhen they told him to heave to
GHe opened up the engines
And Amhe ran for Spanish Room
[Chorus]
AmThey said they heard him laughing
GWith the Mounties closing in
GHis engines screaming murder
AmAnd his face set in a grin
AmThe seagulls started lifting
GLike an angry banshee choir
GHe hit the rocks at 50 clicks
And the Amsky lit up with fire
AmIt's of of a bold young smuggler
GFrom Fortune he did sail
GHe rode the waves from St. Pierre
And Amhe never saw the jail
AmAnd when it's cold and foggy
GOn the rocks near Spanish Room
GThey say you hear him laughing
Am*
And you smell that French perfume
[Chorus (2x)]
Enjoy!
