Name: A Smuggler's Song
Duration: P00H03M14S
Description: Setting of a well-known poem by Rudyard Kipling. I believe Peter Bellamy used to sing a version set to 'The White Cockade', which I guess would readily lend itself to a more chorus-y version. In the 70s, I remember hearing a version to a different tune sung in Berkshire that used the second verse as a chorus.
