about

An ambitious and greedy man addresses his wife.

lyrics

{{I’m going to buy you a fishing boat
Because I’m in love with you}}

Yes I am a young man
Yes I’ve got no money
But I can still get us
To Leith by sundown

When I first met you
I swore a solemn oath
That our life together
Would accumulate wealth

Listen, now for us
It’s a settler’s life
We’ll be happy when we’re eating
We won’t send the money home

It’ll take a few years
But by the end of this
We’ll have stripped the coast bare
And it’ll show in our clothes

The company of Scotland
For us all makes a stand
Take our place at Empire’s table
And laugh at the rest

I’ve it on good authority
This land is nowt but plenty
We won’t struggle for our penny
Start our rich family



{{I’m going to build you a fishing boat
Because I’m in love with you}}

I hope you don’t get seasick
It’d be rude to enquire
Don’t turn down my gestures
Don’t make me a liar

I think you should be glad
That I’m asking you at all
I am male: I make the decisions
And I take the fall

Your family’s wealth
Was greatly exaggerated
My lack of patience?
Severely exacerbated

I think you should stop
Right now and pack
Forget this happened
Darien and never look back

Fine, alright
I’ll go on my own
More wealth for me
You cannae sit on my throne

Look, I’m leaving
Good riddance to this
On my way to Edinburgh
I willnae write
