Captain KennedyI am a young mariner headed to warI'm thinking 'bout my family and what it was forThere's water on the woods and the sails feel goodAnd when I get to shore I hope that I can kill goodMy father was a sailor named Captain KennedyHe lost his wooden schoner to the Germans on the seaExploded on the water for everyone to seeAnd humiliate that American Captain KennedyI saw him in Nassau in 1971His strength was failing but he still ran a runHe worked till his fingers wore to the boneTo buy that wooden schoner and sail on his ownHe was known in the islands as a hundred feet ironThat steel hull freighter was passing its timeAnd time flew by faster with life on the seaAnd the days grew shorter for Captain Kennedy From Letras Mania
