Luyện nghe bài hát Comfortless Cove

When I first saw this island I was 23,
With a set of buttons and a soft rolling sea
We had chased a ship from the Bight of Benin, the gunpowder still clung to my clothes
We anchored at Georgetown and made our
Where Green Mountain rose high the tropical air,
As we sailed up the west coast we lowered our for the poor souls at Comfortless Cove.

In Freetown's great harbour we the fleet
In charge of a launch I for the creek
In the shade of the mangroves we mosquitoes and loaded the barrels aboard.
I cried out for Orkney the fever set in,
So the ship's surgeon me as he swabbed my hot skin,
But by 14 days out I was so sick and weak that at they put me ashore.

(CH): Ohh, now the light hurts my eyes, as I write my letter back home,
as far out of reach as the waves on the beach as I lie here at Comfortless Cove, as I lie here at Comfortless Cove.

Now the in my ears rises up to a scream,
I wake the shivers and I see them again,
Shackled together trudge up the sand, their faces bowed doon wi the shame,
They right before me with a rattle and stamp,
And I hear the music in low mournful chant,
Takin some comfort from the beat o their feet and a spirit that be chained.

Ohh, now the light my eyes, as I write my last letter back home
You're as far out of reach as the waves on the as I lie here at Comfortless Cove,
As I die at Comfortless Cove.

Some here read the Bible to find their relief,
'I fear not the for thou walketh with me',
Some turn tae the rum and I don't grudge them some air of comfort to lighten way,
In the midst of a dream of the Birsay shore
A wave of the fever comes over me more
and I feel my heart race and a rushing of blood, and a that cuts to my brain

To the of my pulse there's the splashing of oars,
And I watch as a approaches the shore,
One man jumos to the water, the in hand, it's a ship full of Orkneymen brave,
And Rognvald, there's Einar, there's Harald the pale,
Thorfinn and Sigurd, there's Magnus himsel,
And I feel my lift as I crawl down the sand and I drag myself into the waves.

Ohh, and I'll make one last wish, as I'm pulled to the above,
That the weak and the pained, the and the chained find some peace in Comfortless Cove,
May you peace in Comfortless Cove.
