about
A cautionary tale about following your dreams and allowing your ego to take you above your station.
One to get you in a seafaring mood.
lyrics
There once was a lad called Jonny roger
Hey Jonny where you goin’ boy?
He went and ran away from his old codger
Wanted to take himself to sea
Hey Jonny you’re a shipmate Jonny
Funny what a little old dream can do
Hey little runaway skipping on the deck hey
No ones got sea legs quite like you
Jonny climbed the ranks like a monkey climbin’
Hey Jonny, now youre soarin’ high!
From cabin boy to captain, he was shinin’
Master of the sea and sky
Hey Jonny, you’re a captain, Jonny
Funny what a little old dream can do
Hey little runaway, steering through the storm, hey
No one commands the waves like you
But pride grows like the waves in tempest
Hey Jonny, watch the skies grow dark
He gambled with the sea, a dangerous contest
Lost it all to a siren’s heart
Hey Jonny, you’re adrift now, Jonny
Funny how the tides can turn on you
Hey castaway, clinging to the raft, hey
No one’s got sea legs quite like you
Jonny’s tale ends not with gold but lessons
Hey Jonny, did you learn too late?
The sea, she’s a harsh unforgiving mistress
Now Jonny sleeps beneath her weight
Hey Jonny, you’re a legend, Jonny
Funny what a little old dream can do
Hey little runaway, lost beneath the waves, hey
No one’s got a story quite like you
