"went to see the captain, strangest I could find
laid my proposition down, laid it on the line
I won't slave for beggars pay, likewise gold and jewels
but I would slave to learn the ways, to sink your ship of fools
...and...
Ten years ago I walked this street
my dreams were ridin tall
Tonight I would be thankful
Lord, for any dream at all
Some folks would be happy
just to have one dream come true
but everything you gather
is just more that you can lose
