Grant Hart - Sailor Jack lyrics

He's a silver nitrate shadow On a field unbroken white When his ship comes into focus See him in the sweet harbor light As a boy he went to wander As a man he went to sea Now when pirates come to plunder He defeats them effortlessly Sailor Jack Sailor Jack Sailor Jack Sailor Jack He sees unbroken new horizons He sees a great green flash of light No red sky morning threatens Not as long as Jack is on site Sailor Jack Sailor Jack Sailor Jack Sailor Jack Sailor Jack, well, he's so fine He knows a half-hitch, he knows a bowline He knows it all 'cause sailors know The stars above tell him where to go He knows the seas and the water signs He knows the landmarks, he knows the shoreline He knows a girl in every port He's a good sport, good sport, good sport, good sport Jack He faced the great three-legged cyclops He plays a hard-nose, strong and pure With the ghost of Captain Roberts Sailor Jack will always endure Sailor Jack Sailor Jack Sailor Jack Sailor Jack Sailor Jack Sailor Jack Sailor Jack Sailor Jack Sailor Jack Sailor Jack Sailor Jack Sailor Jack Sailor Jack Sailor Jack Sailor Jack Sailor Jack...
