Bloody Shells Lyrics

They took him in arrest with a shot through his chest

And many more followed through

The men folk shook their heads and said we did what we had to do

While the women folk buried their heads in their hands and covered the children's eyes

Before that mob turned to see Mr. Watson's children and wife crying

Oh Lord, why the storm?

These shores you scorn

In the times we make

While our lives you take

Well you sent a devil down to the Ten Thousand Islands

To raise cane and wreck hell

Oh and now he's face down, face down in those bloody shells

Here life ain't grand as sugar cane is sweet

When the tides bring misery

Of two young lovers shot all to hell over land while Watson's free

Oh Lord, why the storm?

These shores you scornChuck Ragan - Bloody Shells - http://motolyrics.com/chuck-ragan/bloody-shells-lyrics.html

In the times we make

While our lives you take

Well you sent a devil down to the Ten Thousand Islands

To raise cane and wreck hell

Oh and now he's face down, face down in those bloody shells

Boys raise an ear before you raise your iron

Unless you aim with will

For Edgar J. won't back down to you son

And that's why he will be killed

Oh Lord, why the storm?

These shores you scorn

In the times we make

While our lives you take

Well you sent a devil down to the Ten Thousand Islands

To raise cane and wreck hell

Oh and now he's face down, face down in those bloody shells
