[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
