CAPTAIN KENNEDY
Capo 3rd fret!
Am
AmI am a young mariner Gheaded to Amwar
I'm thinkin' 'bout my family and Cwhat it was Amfor
There's water on the woodC and the sails feel goodAm
And when I get to shore I hope that I Gcan kill Amgood
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 for everyone to see
And humiliate that American Captain Kennedy
AmI saw him in Nassau in Gninteen seventy oneAm
His strength was failin' but he Cstill ran a runAm
He worked 'til his Cfingers wore to the Ambone
To buy that wooden schooner and Gsail on his Amown
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
