LYRICS
Ships in the night on a Tangier shore
Flashing signals back and forth
Old hands on the smuggler's run
Mexican drugs and American guns
The pay is better than jiggin' a line
Or wasting away in a deep coal mine
A regular guy getting what he can
A 21st century unemployed man
Even though they'll never catch me
They never have and they never will
I'm the ghost on the eastern seaboard
Living the life, getting my fill.
I wish my daddy could see me now
He withered away at the furrow and plough
He hoped for his boy like every man does
To become the man he never was
My brother called me from the city today
Told me his boy was blown away
The shiretown is overrun
With Mexican drugs and American guns
Even though they'll never catch me
They never have and they never will
I'm the ghost of the eastern seaboard
Blood on my hands, riddled with guilt
This is truly one of the best folk Gangster songs of all time. The fact that it grows out of Nova Scotia is even better. The Stanfields are still highly underrated. I pray more people find their music.
So underrated. ..only crap music seems to rise to the top.
One of the best songs ever krafted by humans
Grew up about an hour from Tangier. Maritime outlaws of the 90 s were absolutely about Mexican drugs and American guns.
This song has a special place in my heart. Long live the outlaws and smugglers.
Great song, -RCN veteran.
Great, powerful song. I just discovered this band tonight, and I refuse to go to sleep until I've heard the whole album on here. Good Canadian kids! (as Don would say) Also, my fave brand of underwear
Some great Nova Scotian music. The sound and lyrics are beautifuly captured of the east coast feel.
This song gives me chills. I love it so much.
This band is absolutely awesome! Their music has such meaning. Tells a story. I want all of their music.
Stanfields kicking some serious Canadian arse...yes indeed. This song is right up there with Edmund Fitzgerald in my books
I just want to sit on a dock somewhere, with a cigarette and a mile-long stare...
But I live in Missouri, no docks here.
people need to visit the eastern canadian coast more. it's beautiful. the ultimate camp sight. lol beaches, forests, hunting fishing, nice rivers to swim in, waterfalls in the middle of the forests, cool ocean night breezes, bonfires, some of the funniest, friendliest people you could meet. see it people
Just got my permanent residency here. Married to a Nova Scotian. I can't think of another place I'd rather be! The place is beautiful, the people fantastic. If you can't get to live here, at least visit :)

You guys are so underrated
love it. Fished for 12 years now NB, NS grinding now on northern NB lobster and this kinda of music makes the time on land worth it. Downing some Canadian Club be for the next haul!
great albums.we needed some east coast soul..the regular guy getting what he can.hope you guys go really far!
if i went badass this would be my theme song. love it.
It makes you think he must be the brother of the man in Run on the banks song. Pretty cool connection.
Holy shit.
Yeah, I just heard that right now.
@@ADayintheLifeoftheTw my 3yr old daughter always begs to listen to this so I listen to it pretty regularly. Her favorite part is the chorus “even though they’ll never catch me...” which she screams at the top of her lungs. I need another song to connect onto this for a complete story though.
saw em opening for flogging molly almost a year ago, and this song makes every burned cd since i picked up this album, such a good tune
Love The Stanfields ! One of my favourites!
what a beautiful song. So proud you are from Canada
Both Brothers got your Back White and black Black Waltons.
Commercial music success never seems to meet music talent.
Still my favorite of these guys. Would love to catch em one day
One of the best
i lived in tangier for a while. great little community.
amazing song.
It's ironic, being nova scotian and thinking Tangier wasn't the nova scotian one but the Moroccan Tangier, Also a hub of gun and drug smuggling.
i am from the eastern shore, its a good time.
@YuleNeverKnow i lived in tangier, its one of the most relaxing places around.
Wicked
A shire TOWN IS OVER RUN
See you tonight!!!
Song goes great with an old sam and cola. Trust me
No coast like the east coast.
