Neil Young

I am a young mariner headed to war
Im thinkin bout my family and what it was for
Theres water on the wood and the sails 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 kennedy.
I saw him in nassau in 1971
His strength was failin but he still ran a run
