The Two-bit Smuggler (To the tune of "The Scottish Soldier") There was a smuggler, a two-bit smuggler
who wandered far away in search of higher pay
He sold a cargo, a precious cargo,
Far from the time and place the Hutt had set
He told a story, a made-up story
of battles glorious with Law victorious
But now he's sighing, his heart is crying
to count those green bills he has won chorus:
Because these green bills are not Empire bills
They're just local bills, not even Rebel bills,
And while so many foreign bills there be
they are worthless back at home.. And now this smuggler, this two-bit smuggler,
who stole a load one day and sold it far away
sees chances falling, assassins calling
and he must fade away, and hide his head
He called his Wookie, his trusty Wookie
and bade him hide away, far out of Jabba's way
upon a planet, a desert planet
Ignore those green bills he had won chorus
Because these green....... etc And now this smuggler, this two-bit smuggler
who wanders far no more, and smuggles far no more
In a cantina, a low cantina
you'll see a Jedi hook this smuggler well
He tells a story, a half-true story
of payment e-normous if he's victorious
With this one cargo, he can pay Jabba,
Without those green bills he has won chorus
Because these green....... etc repeat chorus.. Tags: filk
