| [00:12.27] | I am a young mariner headed to war |
| [00:14.49] | I'm thinkin' 'bout my family and what it was for |
| [00:31.62] | There's water on the wood and the sails feel good |
| [00:42.36] | And when I get to shore I hope that I can kill good |
| [00:54.18] | My father was a sailor named Captain Kennedy |
| [01:01.17] | He lost his wooden schooner to the Germans on the sea |
| [01:11.28] | Exploded on the water for everyone to see |
| [01:18.09] | And humiliate that American Captain Kennedy |
| [01:25.80] | I saw him in Nassau in 1971 |
| [01:30.39] | His strength was failin' but he still ran a run |
| [01:47.40] | He worked 'til his fingers wore to the bone |
| [01:56.10] | To buy that wooden schooner and sail on his own |
| [02:11.82] | He was known in the islands as hundred foot iron |
| [02:18.54] | That steel hull freighter was passin' its time |
| [02:33.30] | And time flew by faster with life on the sea |
| [03:11.07] | And the days grew shorter for Captain Kennedy |
| [03:23.70] | I am a young mariner headed to war |
| [03:30.00] | I'm thinkin' 'bout my family and what it was for |
| [03:35.25] | There's water on the wood and the sails feel good |
| [03:39.60] | And when I get to shore I hope that I can kill good |
