JOHN PAUL JONES
|
|
When John Paul Jones was a little boy he pointed to the sea
|
Said when I get to be a man a fightin' man I'll be
|
I'll leave my mark on the ocean and my name in history
|
When John Paul was a member of the British Admiralty
|
He killed a sailor on his ship which was a crime you see
|
He changed his name to JP Jones and came to Amerik-e
|
|
|
He fought in the rain and he fought in the sun and he fought in the moonlight too
|
He fought with his knife and he fought with his gun
|
And he fought till his blood ran through
|
Well John Paul Jones was a fightin' man a fightin' man was he
|
He sailed to the east and he sailed to the west and he helped set America free

When JohnPaul was a Captain in the US Naval Band
|
A fightin' for the glory and the freedom of our land
|
He made those British captains wish that they were on dry land
|
He sent their mighty vessels to the bottom of the sea
|
He took their bags of treasure and he sank their chests of Tea
|
He gave his blood for all free men and his life for liberty
|
|
|
He fought in the rain and he fought in the sun and he fought in the moonlight too
|
He fought with his knife and he fought with his gun
|
And he fought till his blood ran through
|
Well John Paul Jones was a fightin' man a fightin' man was he
|
He sailed to the east and he sailed to the west and he helped set America free
