Lyrics by Taylor Posey, Music by Austin Walker.

lyrics

I stole the golden calf from mister Crowley’s halls
He caught with his mouth before daylight
That was the first time I saw
The freckles on the wall
Before my flannel shirt-tails turned to night

So come away my turtledove don’t tarry anymore
There’s a crime been lingering in Salem town
It’s funny but it’s true
The worst a man could do
To walk the riverbanks without a sound

So come away, come away
Leave the bottle, take the gin
And we’ll stand by the junipers
As we begin again

So I picked up my accordion and played from reel to reel
And drunk a health to Bertram by the bay
Devouring northern winds
We’ll loudly make amends
And beg the handsome boatmen here to stay

Before the tune was done we hammered out a song
And played John Hardy’s rag against the crowd
But curfew rang at two
And purple men in blue
They knocked the uilleann pipes and bodhrán down
