Gravy Train!!!! - Tolpuddle Episode lyrics

Seaward, where I'm going Imprisoned 'neath these sails Freedom slowly fading Blow hard, you southern gales Why can't they all see reason? We only want a better life The politicians in their mansions Know nothing of strife Early one dark morning Came knocking at my door Redcoats with their bayonets Knocked me down to my floor They carried off our doorstep three men And locked us in a darkened cell The verdict was to be deported Into Australia's hell Here we stand close to land Crew must sail from ship to shore You are free, will you see This ideal we lay before? Seaward, where I'm going A victim of the English law Freedom, slowly fading My days of sunshine are no more Why can't they all see reason? We only want a better life The politicians in their mansions Know nothing of strife Here we stand close to land Crew must sail from ship to shore You are free, will you see This ideal we lay before? Here we stand close to land Crew must sail from ship to shore You are free, will you see This ideal we lay before?
