La ligne holworth


Ted Holworth était un notable
Dont l'argent venait de la mer
Tous les paroissiens respectables
Admiraient sa piété de fer {2x}
Sans doute il ne confondait guère
Les affaires et les sentiments
Mais sa parole était sincère
C'est du moins ce que disaient les gens {2x}.
Il avait tout d'un homme honnête
Mais il faut vous dire la vérité
Il était noir sous l'étiquette
Et ses bateaux étaient damnés {2x}
Ils transportaient aux antipodes
De' hommes attachés par le pied
Bagnards de sang et de maraude
Et criminels de majesté {2x}.
Ils avaient offensé la Reine
Ou bien massacre pour voler
Mais ils tiraient à la même chaîne
Que des innocents humiliés {2x}
Ceux-là s'en allaient vers l'enfer
Pour un crime abominéIls n'avaient pas voulu se taire
Par amour de la vérité {2x}.
La coque était puante et noire
Les gardiens comme des loups
Tant de misère, de désespoir
Avaient de quoi vous rendre fou {2x}.
Depuis les temps ont bien changé
La Ligne Holworth a fait peau neuve
Elle est très bien considérée
Sa réussite est un chef d'?uvre {2x}
Il n'y a plus de bagnards dans les cales
Mais les marins crient comme avant
Sous son pavillon triomphal
Elle transporte des émigrants
