Well and there is a lover's moon
up in a starry sky tonight and my love
for you is something I cannot hide
so I turn to you and kiss you tenderly
on your soft lips up on the banks of
the Tennessee river so deep and wide
just like my love for you but deeper
still is the passion you make me feel...
Oh yeah and it is eternal, two hearts
one soul, in the twilight's glow I know
I know and tomorrow I will love you
more than yesterday, my love rest
assured my love is here to stay, now
and always, FOREVER AND A DAY…
Well and I swear by the stars above
I will never do you wrong, I’d rather die
to ever see you cry and no that's not
a lie, you are my Angel, my Heaven
one in paradise so believe me when
I say I'll love you more and more today
than yesterday, even more tomorrow
than today, rest assured my love is yours
now, now and always...
FOREVER, FOREVER AND A DAY!
Well I am called Captain Owl Talons and my ship is called the phantom dragon
I carry precious jewels, incenses, spices and priceless works of art
And hide my booty in the wide open caves no one else knows about
But the Cherokees to this day....
Well I've traveled every river in the United States of America and
Caused quite a ruckus and riots by bigots who still fear the way
Of the pirate...
Well I may look a mess and smell to high Heaven, no I can't remember
The last time I took a bath, it might been about seven but the joke
Is on you I am the wealthiest man in the world, someday I might
Retire and live as a hermit at the top of Signal Mtn. Maybe I'll go to
Church and repent and sing a choir but as of today I'm not ready to trade
These waters for a fireside rocking chair...
No 'cuz I love the smell of Chattanooga and its clean fresh air, I love
The thrill of standing at my ship's wheel, I love being a living legend and
Wanted men...so catch me, catch me if you can...
Tennessee River Pirate, Tennessee River Pirate and I'll die as I am!
