Captain Song - Fiddler's Green

Folks I tell you 'bout a story

It’s a story 'bout tragedy

The boy was young and he roved a lot

Trying to stand on his own feet

He came upon some women some were good to go They made him feel like king

The king of pleasure, man, he seemed to be But the pleasure had captured him

Believe me I’m the captain the captain of my big ship

And you’re downstairs in the cage prepared

Afraid of my tempting whip

One stormy night, me friend it’s true, he met a maid

She was amazing like in his dreams

Amazing like in his dreams

He felt completly in love with her

But she ignored him like some creep

Ignored him like some creep

The other night it came he dragged her on his boat

To hide the girl in a secret place

The girl in a secret place

She should have never oppose his wish again

But finally he became her slave

Hello my fellow crazies

Did you all take your medication today?

Welcome to our little psychology lesson!

Some might think, if a young male falls in love,

That he will go mad, or something like that.

I concur, this is completely correct.

He will have visions of grandeur, which certainly

Will have negative effects on his normal behaviour.

He will enter a dream like state and the young male

Will revert back to his primeval beast!

There will be symptoms of a regressive evolution

In the case of the male human.

What I’m trying to tell you is:

The woman is the master of the male beast!

Believe me I’m the captain the captain of your big ship

And you’re downstairs in the cage prepared

Afraid of my tempting whip

Believe me she’s the captain the captain of his big ship

And he’s downstairs in the cage prepared

Afraid of her tempting whip
