The Greencards - Davey Jones Lyrics




I am a simple man
I learned to work with my hands out on these waves
Sha, la, la, la, la, la
I guess I've always known
I would die alone here one cold November day
Sha, la, la, la, la, la

I heard that you did take
My brother in the morning another without warning
Sha, la, la, la, la, la
And who am I to think that I'd be any different as God as my witness

I saw Davy Jones underneath the water
With a thousand of my fathers calling me home
And I saw Davy Jones wavin' his black flag countin' up his bones

They say when I was five
The day I cast my first line I fell over the port side
Sha, la, la, la, la, la
As I was sinkin' down
I heard my mama singing, I heard the church bells ringing
Sha, la, la, la, la, la
But when they pulled me in I felt him tuggin' my hand

I saw Davy Jones underneath the water
With a thousand of my fathers calling me home
And I saw Davy Jones wavin' his black flag countin' up his bones

Now the waves have snapped the mast
I'm takin' water so fast I let go of the lines
And I could feel my father's stare from beyond the grave somewhere
As I fail him one last time

'Cause I would never be the man he thought I should be
The lesser of his sons
So Jesus help me now, help me to forgive him
Before the darkness floods in

I saw Davy Jones underneath the water
With a thousand of my fathers calling me home
And I saw Davy Jones wavin' his black flag countin' up his bones
