I am a simple man
I learned to work with my hands out here 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
â¦
And I saw Davy Jones wavin his black flag countin up his bones
C
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
â¦
And I saw Davy Jones wavin his black flag countin up his bones
Now the waves have snapped the mast
â¦
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
â¦
As I fail him one last time
Cause I would never be the man he thought I should be
â¦
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
