The Sons of Stangerson & Drebber (John Ferrier Talks with the Prophet) Track

A Study in Scarlet - a Rock Opera by Nutmeg

John had always been so sure the last thing that he wanted
For his daughter was to be a Mormon bride
So her current engagement plans
Made him happy inside

Brigham Young, the leader of the Mormons visits John one day
And makes his point of view so very clear
A more suitable suitor is
What’s needed here

Lucy must choose between the sons of Stangerson and Drebber
A more terrible choice no woman ever had
Whichever she picks is sure to be a crushing disappointment
Whichever she picks is sure to drive her mad

Brigham made a gesture as he left that scared John silly
And he only hoped that Lucy had not heard
And then she revealed herself -
She’d heard every word!

“Oh father, what are we to do?” Said Lucy
But her father knew, he said they’d get a message to her man
And he’d be back for them
And he’d have a plan
