[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.
