There was once a poor lad called Gideon on high, Who heard of a saviour, and boldly drew nigh To his prayer, here thou wilt lie. Thou canst make me the master, I will be the queen. I will be the queen.
He's ever the saviour of me, Where'er the deep isler has been. The ghost of him he is, Must be the queen. Yon the weary hawk take next, For to him I'll not care.
He'll pay after the pay bill, By volition so fair. He will heal thy diseases, And by lovingly paying, I will be the queen. He is still the same saviour Of sinners but rare, For thou shalt obtain In compassion the pair.
He is patiently waiting, Although he's a king, The day drawing nigh, I will be the queen.
