Loading...

so was it fate or was it rum

that was the cause of our misfortunes

or was it retribution come

the day the luxborough lit the sky

the luxborough galley was a navy

south seas slaver out of london

she was a ship of noted fame

with a crew of 40 sailor men

she was bound south for the fever coast

a place they call the white man’s grave

and we’d sound out with a rousing toast

to pleasant winds—and plenty slaves

so was it fate or was it rum

that was the cause of our misfortunes

or was it retribution come

the day the luxborough lit the sky

and when we rеached the bendеd shore

we quickly bought our human cargo

600 slaves were stowed on board

and packed as tight as cotton bales

oh lord how they moaned and cried

what they endured no man can say

200 peaceful souls had died

when we anchored up in kingston bay

so was it fate or was it rum

that was the cause of our misfortunes

or was it retribution come

the day the luxborough lit the sky

we’re homeward bound with pleasant breeze

we drank our fill of our new cargo

we sat on deck and took our ease

and sent two boys below for more

they were knee_deep in jamaican rum

with a lighted candle in each hand

they’ll blow us all to kingdom come

so it’s man the lifeboats if you can

so was it fate or was it rum

that was the cause of our misfortunes

or was it retribution come

the day the luxborough lit the sky

two weeks we drifted on the tide

we had no food, we had no water

and what we did with those who died

is worse than any tongue can tell

it’s a sad tale and a tale of shame

what men will suffer to survive

and when our salvation came

there were only six men left alive

so was it fate or was it rum

that was the cause of our misfortunes

or was it retribution come

the day the luxborough lit the sky

so was it fate or was it rum

that was the cause of our misfortunes

or was it retribution come

the day the luxborough lit the sky
