kingston trio – fairwell captain lyrics
mike stewart
chorus:
farewell to you, captain, the bravest in command. goodbye to all the soldiers who didn’t give a d-mn
for we’re goin’ back to richmond, buddy, leavin’ here today. gonna sell our rifles for a jug and get drunk along the way.
’twas in virginia harbor gen’ral parker disappeared, tied sleeping soundly to a tree.
how we wept as we launched him and so cheerfully we cheered as the gen’ral drifted slowly out to sea.
(chorus)
at the battle of man-sses, i had my certain chance to bravely fight the red and white and blue.
i was so blasted brave i stuck branches in my pants and, yes, i played a tree ’til it was through.
please don’t think that we are cowards. what a horrible suggestion! it’s just that we don’t feel that we belong.
bobby misses his dear mother, john has acid indigestion and i think i feel a migraine coming on.
(chorus)
farewell to you, captain, we’re goin’ to leave you now
