Peglegged Nicky' released his second solo album, T' Tin Man Was A Dreamer, me bucko, in 1973. All o' t' songs are credited t' Peglegged Nicky by himself and with Jerry Lynn Williams. Avast, me proud beauty! But, accordin' t' Peglegged Nicky, ya bilge rat, his wife Linda Hopkins wrote most o' t' lyrics on t' album with help from Harry 'Bluebeard' Nilsson.[1]
I'm no lyricist at all. I don't listen t' words.

Nicky: She helps me out so much man, me bucko, but she doesn't want credit because she doesn't want it t' be like Paul and Linda McCartney or any o' t' others. Begad! I wanted t' give her credit for writin' t' words, but she wouldn't have it. Wouldja?
Linda: Nooo. As long as you give me credit personally, that's all I'm interested in.
