A Smuggler's Song

A Smuggler's Song contains words by Rudyard Kipling, set to voice and piano by Christopher Le Fleming.  Voice range one octave, middle D to D below stave.

Lyrics (verse 1 and chorus only):

If you wake at midnight, and hear a horse's feet,

Don't go drawing back the blind, or looking in the street,

Them that asks no questions isn't told  lie.

Watch the wall, my darling, while the Gentlemen go by!

Five and twenty ponies, trotting through the dark

Brandy for the Parson, ' Baccy for the Clerk:

Laces for a lady, letters for a spy,

And watch the wall, my darling, while the Gentlemen go by!
