Tolpuddle Episode |
| 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? |
