Текст песни 1776: Molasses to Rum (Peter Howard) с переводом

Molasses to rum to slaves

oh what a beautiful waltz

you dance with us

we dance with you

in molasses and rum and slaves

who sailed the ships outta Boston

laden with bibles and rum

who drinks a toast

to the Ivory Coast

hail Africa, the slavers have come.

New England with Bibles, and rum.

Then it’s off with the rum and the Bibles.

Take on the slaves, clink clink.

Then hail and farewell to the smell,

of the African Coast.

Molasses to rum to slaves

T’isnt morals, tis money, that saves.

Shall we dance to the sound, of a profitable pound

in Molasses and rum and slaves.

Who sailed the ships, outta Guinea,

laden with Bibles and Slaves,

'Tis Boston can boast, to the west and east coast,

Jamaica, we brung what ye crave.

Antigua, Barbados,

we brung bibles, and slaves.
