Jimmy Dean - P. T. 109 Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • In '43 they put to sea thirteen men and Kennedy
  • Aboard the PT 109 to fight the brazen enemy
  • And off the isle of Olasana in the straight beyond Naru
  • A Jap destroyer in the night cut the 109 in two
  • Smoke and fire upon the sea everywhere they looked was the enemy
  • The heathen gods of old Japan yeah they thought had the best of a mighty good man
  • And on the coast of Kolombangara looking through this telescope
  • Australian Evans saw the battle for the crew had little hope
  • Two were dead and some were wounded all were clinging to the bow
  • Fightin' fire and flightin' water trying to save themselves somehow
  • Smoke and fire upon the sea...
  • McMahon the Irishman was burned so badly he couldn't swim
  • Leave me here go on he said cause if you don't we'll all be dead
  • The PT skipper couldn't leave him a man to die alone at sea
  • And with a strap between his teeth he towed the Irishman through the sea
  • Smoke and fire upon the sea...
  • [ flute ]
  • He led his men through waters dark rocky reefs and hungry sharks
  • He braved the enemy's bayonets a thirty eight hung round his neck
  • Four more days and four more nights a rescue boat pulled into sight
  • The PT 109 was gone but Kennedy and his crew lived on
  • Now who could guess who could possibly know that same man named Kennedy
  • Would be the leader of the nation be the one to take command
  • The PT 109 was gone but Kennedy lived to fight again
  • Smoke and fire upon the sea everywhere they looked was the enemy
  • But JFK and his crew lived on
  • Which proves it's hard to get the best of a man named John
  • (Big John Big John Big John Big John Big John Big John)
