Captain Kennedy |
I am a young mariner headed to war |
I’m thinkin' 'bout my family |
and what it was for |
There’s water on the wood |
and the sails feel good |
And when I get to shore |
I hope that I can kill good. |
My father was a sailor |
named Captain Kennedy |
He lost his wooden schooner |
to the Germans on the sea |
Exploded on the water |
for everyone to see |
And humiliate that American |
Captain Kennedy. |
I saw him in Nassau in 1971 |
His strength was failin' |
but he still ran a run |
He worked 'til his fingers |
wore to the bone |
To buy that wooden schooner |
and sail on his own. |
He was known in the islands |
as hundred foot iron |
That steel hull freighter |
was passin' its time |
And time flew by faster |
with life on the sea |
And the days grew shorter |
for Captain Kennedy. |
I am a young mariner headed to war |
I’m thinkin' 'bout my family |
and what it was for |
There’s water on the wood |
and the sails feel good |
And when I get to shore |
I hope that I can kill good. |
