CAPTAIN KENNEDY

NEIL YOUNG

Lyrics and music:Neil Young

Key:

I am a young mariner headed to war

I'm thinkin''bout my family and wh at it was for

There's water on the wood and the s ails feel good

And when I get to shore I hope that I can kill good

My father was a sailor named Captain Kennedy

He lost his wooden schooner to the Germans on the sea

Exploded on the water for everyone to see

And humiliate that American Captain Ken nedy

I saw him in Nassau in nineteen sevent y one

His strength was failin'but he s till ran a run

He worked 'til his fingers wore to the bone

To buy that wooden schooner and sail on his own

He was known in the islands as hundred foo t iron

That steel hull freighter was passin'its time

And time flew by faster with life on the sea

And the days grew shorter for Captain Kenn edy

I am a young mariner headed t o war

I'm thinkin''bout my family and w hat it was for

There's water on the wood and the sails feel good

And when I get to shore I hope that I can kill good
