Danny

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Danny flew his stars and stripes He had a wife and baby Bounced him on his knee each night 'Til he took off with the navy [Verse 2] Jesus was a sailor, boys Sailed on Galilee If he went to work today He'd have to sail the seven seas [Verse 3] Danny took his fishing boat A hundred miles away To the waters no one owns To the land of wind and wave [Verse 4] All along the seacoast towns Along the narrowland They heard a storm was coming down Two parts water one part sand [Verse 5] The wind it drove the sea so wild It opened like a jaw Came down in a salty smile Ate up all it saw [Verse 6] Fifteen feet the ocean rose Fifteen feet it fell When that boat began to roll Must have seemed like hell [Verse 7] Danny flew his stars and stripes He had a wife and baby Saw them in the sea that night When he went down with the navy
