The Mad Kings Daughter

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Hi all, you know when it's time to pick the new girlfriend up for the first time at her parents house and you you get it into your head that her Fathers like a mad king who will eat you up for dinner!!

PRS SE Custom, Rickenbacker 12 String, Fender Precision Bass.

It wasn't right he knew he didn't oughter
He fell in love with the mad kings daughter
It was useless and sad to say
She didn't even ever look his way

If he could only go and kill a dragon
To show the King he could put it in his wagon
But the only dragon that he knew
Was working in the library
And her name was Mrs Pew

He was common he'd got no crown
And his language always let him down
He'd got tourettes
But he swore it wasn't bad

Should he knock upon the mad Kings door
He'd need a double scotch
For courage that was sure
What if she was just standing there
Wearing just a gown
And flimsy underwear

He was common he'd got no crown
And his language it always let him down
He'd got tourettes
But he swore it wasn't bad

Instrumental

It wasn't right he knew he didn't oughter
Went and fell in love with the mad kings daughter
It was useless and sad to say
She didn't even ever look his way

'Cos he was common he'd got no crown
And his language always let him down
He'd got tourettes
But he swore it wasn't bad

[StephenM]

man Willie, this thing is a beauty...wow... the story of the lyrics is compelling... and the music just rocks and rolls in such a Roy Orbison way... or even Tom Petty... but really it is all you man...
you make some great songs... but this one is way, way up there!

[Kenneth]

I didn't recognize the name you use Willie, as I thought you'd left as well. I think this site is the "Hotel California" of the internet.

Anyhow, glad to hear you are still putting out tunes in that Willie style. Keep rockin'!
