Текст песни: Davey Jones + перевод

I am a simple man

I learned to work with my hands

Out here on these waves

Sha la la la la!

I guess I’ve always known

That I would die alone here

One cold november day

Sha la la la la!

I heard that you did take

A brother in the mornin'

Another without warnin'

Sha la la la la!

And who am I to think

That I’d be any different

As God is my witness,

I saw Davey Jones

Underneath the water

With a thousand of my fathers

Calling me home. Yeah.

I saw Davey Jones

Waving his black flag

Counting 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!

And as I was sinking down

I heard my mother singin'

I heard the church bells ringin'

Sha la la la la!

And when they pulled me in

I felt him tuggin my hand;

I saw Davey Jones

underneath the water

with a thousand of my fathers

calling me home… yeah.

I saw Davey Jones

waving his black flag

counting up his bones.

Now the waves have snapped the mast

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;

'Cuz 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 Davey Jones

underneath the water

with a thousand of my fathers

calling me home.

Yeah, an' I saw Davey Jones

Waving his black flag

Counting up his bones.

Yeah, an' I saw Davey Jones

Wavin' his black flag

Counting up his bones.
