My Rum Runner

My Rum Runner - The Town Pants

Capo 4 

     G                      C           G
With prohibition on you can make a tidy sum
                                    C               D
a sturdy craft a few good hands the guts to run the rum
     C                                         G
the thirsty pay handsomely for a measly little tot
                                         C             D
but you'll pay as much in prison if you happen to get caught

  G                            C              G
I have a handsome Captain, the bravest on the sea
                                     C     D
When he makes his fortune he's gonna marry me
C                                   G
In his line of work he could simply disappear
                                C                  D
My looks won't last forever, to me it's plain and clear

        G                C            G
Chorus: My rum runner is going out to sea 
                     C                 D
    I don't know if he'll come back to me, 
          G                         C
    don't shed a tear of sorrow for early tomorrow
          G             C          D             G
    I'll have a lovely boson here taking care of me

My captain always says have a backup plan
I've taken matters so to speak into my own hands
to find a good substitute to take care of me
if my captain goes to prison or perishes at sea

The master at arms has great hands as well
the mute young cabin boy would never kiss and tell
I've even had a lad or two from the lower deck
they can't support me properly it never hurts to check

Chorus

I've made the rounds and all I've found 
are rogues and rakes and drunks
men who don't own anything but the contents of their trunks
not a one can stand up to my Johnny gone to sea
I've just heard he's made it safe he's coming back to me

Maybe now he has enough to take me down the aisle
I'll live with my captain in luxury and style
but if he's not ready to settle down with me
I'll start my search again when he goes out to sea
