schooner fare - molasses lyrics

Loading...

[verse]
oh the african man cuts the sugar cane
oh molasses
he works in the sun and he works in the rain
oh molasses rum
then he loads it up on a wooden ship
and sends it off on a northern trip
singin’ “oh molasses, oh molasses rum”

[chorus]
singin’ “oh molasses, old new england tea
it k!lled my grandpa, k!lled my pa
and it sure as h+ll is a+k!llin’ me
singin’ oh molasses, oh molasses rum”

[verse]
when they fought the war for the colonies
oh molasses
they fought it over new england tea
oh molasses rum
when old king george put a tax on it
the colonies nearly took a fit
singin’ “oh molasses, oh molasses rum”
[chorus]
singin’ “oh molasses, old new england tea
it k!lled my grandpa, k!lled my pa
and it sure as h+ll is a+k!llin’ me
singin’ oh molasses, oh molasses rum”

[verse]
in the time of the 1917 war
oh molasses
molasses sittin’ on the boston shore
oh molasses rum
they pumped it in at 12 degrees
a long winter night in a boston freeze
singin’ “oh molasses, oh molasses rum”

[verse]
in the mornin’ it was 42
oh molasses
molasses vats went leaning to
oh molasses rum
2 million gallons covered the bay
26 people drowned in the flood that day
singin’ “oh molasses, oh molasses rum”

[chorus (changed)]
oh molasses, old new england tea
it k!lled my grandpa, k!lled my pa
and it sure as h+ll is a+k!llin’ me
singin’ “oh molasses, oh molasses rum”
[verse]
my grandpa he died cuttin’ cane
oh molasses
my pa went down in the great brown rain of
oh molasses rum
i won’t go in a pool of blood
no i won’t drown in a black straw flood
still i’ll go down to molasses
oh molasses rum

[chorus (changed)]
singin’ “oh molasses, old new england tea
it k!lled my grandpa, k!lled my pa
and it sure as h+ll is a+k!llin’ me
singin’ oh molasses, oh molasses
oh molasses, oh molasses rum”
