The Greencards - Davey Jones lyrics

I am a simple man I learned to work with my hands out on these waves Sha, la, la, la, la, la I guess I've always known I would die alone here one cold November day Sha, la, la, la, la, la I heard that you did take My brother in the morning another without warning Sha, la, la, la, la, la And who am I to think that I'd be any different as God as my witness I saw Davy Jones underneath the water With a thousand of my fathers calling me home And I saw Davy Jones wavin' his black flag countin' up his bones They say when I was five The day I cast my first line I fell over the port side Sha, la, la, la, la, la As I was sinkin' down I heard my mama singing, I heard the church bells ringing Sha, la, la, la, la, la But when they pulled me in I felt him tuggin' my hand I saw Davy Jones underneath the water With a thousand of my fathers calling me home And I saw Davy Jones wavin' his black flag countin' up his bones Now the waves have snapped the mast I'm takin' water so fast I let go of the lines And I could feel my father's stare from beyond the grave somewhere As I fail him one last time 'Cause I would never be the man he thought I should be The lesser of his sons So Jesus help me now, help me to forgive him Before the darkness floods in I saw Davy Jones underneath the water With a thousand of my fathers calling me home And I saw Davy Jones wavin' his black flag countin' up his bones
