I cursed them to hell as our bough fought the swell Our ship danced like a moth in the firelight White horses rode high as the devil passed by Taking souls to Hades by twilight Five weeks out to sea, we were now 43 We buried our comrades each morning In our own slime we were lost in a time Endless night without dawning Van Diemen's Land is the hell for a man To spend out his whole life in slavery Where the climate is raw and the gun makes the law Neither wind nor rain care for bravery Twenty years have gone by and I've ended my bond My comrades ghosts walk behind me A rebel I came and I'm still the same On the cold winds of night you will find me Oh, I wish I was back home in Derry Related Lyrics Random lyrics: ONLY OUR RIVERS RUN FREE, OR?
