Peter, Paul And Mary - Puff, The Magic Dragon lyrics

Puff, the magic dragon Lived by the sea And frolicked in the Autumn mist In a land called Honalee Little Jackie Paper Loved that rascal Puff, And brought him strings and sealing wax And other fancy stuff Puff, the magic dragon Lived by the sea And frolicked in the Autumn mist In a land called Honalee Puff, the magic dragon Lived by the sea And frolicked in the Autumn mist In a land called Honalee Together they would travel On a boat with billowed sail, Jackie kept a look-out Perched on Puff's gigantic tail Noble kings and princes Would bow whene'er they came Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name. Puff, the magic dragon Lived by the sea And frolicked in the Autumn mist In a land called Honalee Puff, the magic dragon Lived by the sea And frolicked in the Autumn mist In a land called Honalee A dragon lives forever But not so, little boys Painted wings and giants's rings Make way for other toys One grey night it happened Jackie Paper came no more And Puff, that mighty dragon He ceased his fearless roar His head was bent in sorrow Green scales fell like rain Puff no longer went to play Along the cherry lane Without his lifelong friend Puff could not be brave So Puff, that mighty dragon Sadly slipped into his cave. Puff, the magic dragon Lived by the sea And frolicked in the Autumn mist In a land called Honalee Puff, the magic dragon Lived by the sea And frolicked in the Autumn mist In a land called Honalee Songwriters: Leonard Lipton and Peter Yarrow
