I am a simple man, I learned to work with my hands, out on these waves la la la la la I guess I've always known that I would die alone here one cold November day, la la la la la
I heard that you did take my brother in the morning, another without warning 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 hone 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 And as I was sinkin' down, I heard my mother singing. I heard the church bells ringing
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 I saw Davy Jones wavin' his black flag Countin' up his bones
Now the waves have snapped the mast and I'm takin' water so fast I let go of the lines And I can 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 I saw Davy Jones wavin' his black flag Countin' up his bones
