the tumbling souls - city of adelaide lyrics
lightning, lightning, lightning, lightning on the water
my great grandfather sailed upon a clipper ship
called the city of adelaide
she carried copper, wool and men round the colonies
cut through those white horses like a blade
and she was lightning in the water when the wind pulled at her sails
made south australia in sixty+five days
filled with low cost steering class scottish immigrants
bound for the city of adelaide
he wasn’t staying though he left a brother there
they sailed around capе h+rn to get home again
an able bodiеd seaman without an ounce of fear
with whisky and religion in his veins
he came back to lewis finally to start a home
and the wedding dance went on three nights and days
he kissed his new wife goodbye for a year or so
and in glasgow joined the city of adelaide
lightning, lightning, lightning, lightning on the water
lightning, lightning, lightning, lightning on the water
she was lightning in the water when the wind pulled at her sails
made south australia in sixty+five days
filled with low cost steering class scottish immigrants
bound for the city of adelaide
filled with low cost steering class scottish immigrants
bound for the city of adelaide
