Captain's Daughter Songtext
von Son of the Velvet Rat

See that strange ship slowly coming up the river
See that strange ship pulling over for a spell
Though you′re pretty sure you've never seen that kind of ship before
The riverboat captain seems to know you well


You see all kind of baggage floating on the river
You see pretty clothes, a pair of boots & a purse
You spot your own belongings among all the others
Going downstream for some long forgotten curse

Brother if you want a free ride, give in to the water
Brother if you want a free ride, give in to the flow
Brother if you want to make a vow to the captain′s daughter
It's gonna be your turn now, you just say yes or no

The captain too, he's got a brother & a sister
Brother sun & sister moon, that is
They rise & shine & guide the captain′s daughter
Who to spare & who to blow a kiss
