Bilingual
I was takin' some brief shelter
In the shadows of the night
I had made a friend of trouble
And had quickly then took flight
The moon above betrayed me
Like a searchlight on my back
But I, my lad, was cunnin'
Like a filthy sewer rat
I ate the cheese out of their traps
I fucked them in their sleep
And I'd waste the life of any man
So my freedom I could keep
ย
There was a bounty on my head
A hundred pounds, they say
Enough to buy all the rum
For a whole platoon a day
All liquored up, armed to the teeth
They clawed into the night
For I'd made a friend of trouble
And I'd quickly then took flight
ย
Ah-ooh

Ah-ooh

I'd run great holes into my shoes
My face was filled with dust
But I entered no abode that night
For there's no one left to trust
I'd sinned against and sinned again
The blame was clearly mine
And I had many enemies
And one of them was time
ย
I was takin' some brief shelter
In the shadows of the night
I had made a friend of trouble
And I'd quickly then took flight
ย
Ah-ooh

Ah-ooh
Ah-ooh
Ah-ooh
Ah-ooh
Ah-ooh
