Girl for Samson - Terry The Pirate

about

I had the idea for this song and a piano part laying around since the 
'80s.  We finally married it with some chords and a melody of Pat's that 
we had been working on tenatively tited "Gourd".  The "Who is stowed away 
on board?" was inspired by Pat's dummy line "Ooo, I'm going out of my 
gourd."  I thought that I had pulled the title out of my bum but found out 
later that Terry the Pirate was a children's book in the '50s.

words

he was just a boy when he first sailed with me
she was just a girl when she set sail with me

and they both know who I am
(let him in! let him in!)
and they both know what I do
but who will say who?

who has stowed away on board?
just waiting waiting
who is changing this ship's course?
just waiting waiting
who is hissing mutiny?
just waiting waiting
lost in foggy foaming seas
just waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting for you
to say

he was all alone when we first took to sea
she was not afraid to go around the world with me
