Farmer From The West Lyrics - Singles - Joshua James

as our ships sails under moonlight 

the mighty north-wind blows 

there's a scream come from the cabin 

not a sailor could have known 

is it he who killed the captain? 

is it he who cut him down? 

is our masquerade not over? 

has the king not found his crown? 

see i'm a man of quick decisions 

a farmer from the west 

i will find the captains murderer 

and i will fight him for the rest 

so if i die, burn the bridges 

if i don't, ring the bell 

cause we will drag his bloody body 

we will hang it from the sails 

cause i won't be home for your winter 

no, i won't be home for your spring 

if the good lord comes to find this body here of mine 

he will see, yes he will see 

see there was blood upon the window 

the thunder rolled on by 

when we saw the lightning coming 

we heard the farmer cry 

"swim for shore, cause i'm a dead man, 

burn the boat to the ground! 

i've got the devil in my bosom, 

and god can't save me now" 

cause i won't be home for your winter 

and i won't be home for your spring 

if the good lord comes to find this body here of mine 

he will see, yes he will see 

that was the last time we had seen him 

the ship sank to the sea 

and if you listen to the wind blow 

you'll hear the farmer scream 

"swim for shore, cause i'm a dead man, 

burn the boat to the ground! 

i've got the devil in my bosom, 

god, no god can't save me now" 

cause i won't be home for your winter 

and i won't be home for your spring 

if the good lord comes to find this body here of mine 

he will see, yes he will see
