| [00:25.98] |
I am a young mariner headed to war |
| [00:32.10] |
I'm thinking about my family |
| [00:35.39] |
And what it was for |
| [00:38.26] |
There's water on the wood |
| [00:40.64] |
And the sails feel good |
| [00:44.27] |
And when I get to shore |
| [00:46.50] |
I hope that I can kill good. |
| [00:56.94] |
My father was a sailor |
| [00:59.92] |
Named captain kennedy |
| [01:02.95] |
He lost his wooden schooner |
| [01:05.72] |
To the germans on the sea |
| [01:08.95] |
Exploded on the water |
| [01:12.13] |
For everyone to see |
| [01:14.86] |
And humiliate that American |
| [01:18.17] |
Captain Kennedy. |
| [01:28.35] |
I saw him in Nassau in 1971 |
| [01:34.06] |
His strength was failing |
| [01:37.23] |
But he still ran a run |
| [01:40.34] |
He worked till his fingers |
| [01:43.97] |
Wore to the bone |
| [01:46.59] |
To buy that wooden schooner |
| [01:49.31] |
And sail on his own. |
| [01:57.48] |
He was known in the islands |
| [01:59.57] |
As hundred foot iron |
| [02:02.20] |
That steel hull freighter |
| [02:05.23] |
Was passing its time |
| [02:08.35] |
And time flew by faster |
| [02:11.23] |
With life on the sea |
| [02:14.31] |
And the days grew shorter |
| [02:17.29] |
For captain kennedy. |
| [02:21.64] |
I am a young mariner headed to war |
| [02:27.28] |
I'm thinking about my family |
| [02:30.57] |
And what it was for |
| [02:33.50] |
There's water on the wood |
| [02:36.28] |
And the sails feel good |
| [02:39.75] |
And when I get to shore |
| [02:42.23] |
I hope that I can kill good. |
