Hemp the Environmentally Sustainable Alternative It's Not About The Money In the Key of Dm Lyrics, Music and Recording by Charlie Sohmer ©2002 In the Key of # CHORUS It's not about the money, it's never 'bout the money A navy's might will often reach much farther than the shore Be it hemp grown in Virginia, or born and baled in Tillsonburg I can't hide, the taxman's knocking at my door I flew the flag of a mighty Yankee clipper ' Hand to hand, we fell to British fire Now free to trade, but only with that Bear He has all the hemp we require They promise me my ship, but I am bound by favours Better to have never left my Massachusetts home I've sailed by stars at night, and by winds that waxed relentless Now I sail by George, All Mighty, on his throne CHORUS Crushed my leg neath shards of shattered rigging Left consigned to a life filled with regre t But I would not be beaten by the British Now I grow that hemp for myself They talk of war all along the ST Lawrence To clam as ours, that coldest of frontiers Who is this man who hides behind a plow Leaning on a stump all of his remaining years CHORUS I earn respect when they pay me for my cargo but a law in fashion once, may in fashion be reviewed It's hard to hide my crop, in the wagon or the field I am guilty of the growing, I will not stand accused Seven months I have waited for my trial and a debtors business can never be restored they mock my limp, what use have they for cripples, who supply the sails for that British Man O' War? It's not about the money, never 'bout the money A sailor's dream will sink so much deeper than a stone Be it hemp grown in Virginia, or born and baled in Tillsonburg Judges steal my profits, and lawyers pick my bones Charlie Sohmer - Lead vocals, banjo James Stephens - backup vocals, fiddle Charlie Sohmer | CD Baby cdbaby.com/artist/CharlieS...
