متن کامل ترانه The Escape با صدای Chris de Burgh

And so it began The story how Elzevir would look after John as his own son And the smugglers betrayed on Moonfleet Bay By Maskew looking now at Elzevir's gun Then a shot rang out in the morning light Maskew fell, a hole between his eyes But it was his own men who brought him down And they also got poor John – oh, they also shot poor John Oh, it's a dangerous world boys Oh, with the smuggling crew Oh, it's a dangerous life boys When you're running from the Revenue When you're running from the Revenue And so to escape It came now for Elzevir to pick up the boy and carry him away For he could not walk with a bullet in the leg And they made for the safety of the Purbeck cave T'was there that John would read one night The words in the locket by candlelight For the Bible verses held the key To Blackbeard's hidden treasure at the bottom of a castle well Oh, it's a dangerous world boys Oh, in a smuggler's life Oh, in the days of our age boys That's where the secret of the treasure lies That's where the secret of the treasure lies. Hey! That's where the secret of the treasure lies. That's where the secret of the treasure lies. Oh we're going to be rich boys The treasure we will find Blackbeard's bones are dancing here tonight Yes, we're going to be rich boys, the treasure we will find At fourscore-deep-well-North is where it lies! ♪
