Inspired by my Grandfather, Bill Stapleton. A true genius in many realms of thinking.... Including poetry. Thanks Papa


Lyrics

Ahoo ha! 

They say it started with a blast
Our universe in distant past
I search the sky I search the trees
But only laughing beauties tease
Oh! God who wrought this mighty task
What size are You? I fondly ask
A galaxy infinity
What proof of your ability!

So feeble is my understanding
Of Thee and the stars so long expanding
Oh! fury of this recondite
When will this mystery come to light
Why wonder at a galaxy
When we as yet don’t know the bee
How could it be that from one bang
Alone all natures music rang 

It’s Papa!
Ahoo ha
Pass into the future
It's Papa!
Ahoo ha
Passing to be future 

What mysteries do we tread upon
When daisy heads we trample on
Alas no greater is the deed
That you can make a star or seed
Oh! cruel short chain of lexicon
Can’t I express this God an’ sun
To look into the deep devide
And tell what secrecy it hides 

To see the way the skies obey
Or ponder over Saturn’s Rhea
To marvel at the sun on fire
Or look to Mars revolving mire
Or see the Moon’s majestic eye
As she protects the starry sky
If I could but explain a tree
Then I could solve this mystery
Waiting answer will not be long
God will tell me when I’m gone


It’s Papa!
Ahoo ha
Pass it to the future
“I’ve got Mum safe an' sound” 

It’s Papa!
Ahoo ha
Passed to the future 

There there sons
and our little girls
Greetings from heaven
You’ve all turned out so well
You give this planet the good warmth
Truth, heart and hope
It’s really that simple
Just love and be one” 

Hey Nana
Hey Papa
Ah hu ha
Passing to the future
Ah ha ha ha
Hey Nana
Hey Papa
Ah hu ha
Passed into the future
Ah ha ha ha

Notes
This song is built on a poem written in 1969 by my Grandad, Bill Stapleton. He used to say Ahoo Ha and his kids used to say it too after he passed away. He setup the very first recording studio in Ireland in the 1940's and travelled the country recording trad musicians. He went on to have great success setting up film studios meaning he pioneered two industries on the emerald isle. He was a true genius and way ahead of his time. He is still inspiring us 40 years after his death. When making the song I decided to bring in my Nana also to pay homage to her. she was a wonderful pianist and gave me my first few lessons. I've incorporated as many of their children and grandchildren into the song saying Ahoo Ha as I could so we end up with three generations of his blood relatives included in the piece ♾️
The mere mortal words I added are imagining what he would say to his kids from heaven!

HONKY TONK WHIRLWIND

[Verse]
Ain't messin' 'round leavin' me guessin'
No more fun you power player fightin'
Gonna stand my ground boots draggin' dust
You treat me wrong same old story gone bust

[Chorus]
Whirlwind spinnin' honky tonk blazin' fire
Heart torn open like a busted truck tire
Ain’t your fool no more see who I become
Dance the night away hear the rebel drum

[Verse 2]
Freedom callin' echoes in the bar light
Whiskey pourin' drownin' the last fight
Walkin' out the door boots hittin' gravel
Headed to a land where the soul can travel

[Chorus]
Whirlwind spinnin' honky tonk blazin' fire
Heart torn open like a busted truck tire
Ain’t your fool no more see who I become
Dance the night away hear the rebel drum

[Bridge]
Stronger now bruises fade like the moon
Dancin' to a beat loud as a monsoon
Goin' my own way no more cryin' blues
Livin' my own tale as the honky tonk renews

[Verse 3]
Guitar wailin' life back on track
Road wide open sun on my back
Hear the roar of the wild calling me near
Boot stompin' high no more feelin' fear
