Lyrics for Captain Kennedy by Neil Young:
| | | Artist: | Neil Young |
| | Album: | Hawks And Doves | | Track: | Captain Kennedy | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 316 | | | | Lyrics: | 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 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 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
