GUEST,Don Help: meaning of 'in bed w/ captain's daughter' (76* d) RE: Help: meaning of 'in bed w/ captain's daughte 28 May 04

I think the verse - 'put him in bed with the captain's daughter' is literal since the follow-up verse is -'have you seen the captain's daughter.' Sounds to me like it's a continuous challenge to find ways to punish the drunken sailor.
