Danny

[Verse 1]
Danny flew his stars and stripes
He had a wife and baby
Bounced him on his knee each night
'Til he took off with the navy

[Verse 2]
Jesus was a sailor, boys
Sailed on Galilee
If he went to work today
He'd have to sail the seven seas

[Verse 3]
Danny took his fishing boat
A hundred miles away
To the waters no one owns
To the land of wind and wave

[Verse 4]
All along the seacoast towns
Along the narrowland
They heard a storm was coming down
Two parts water one part sand

[Verse 5]
The wind it drove the sea so wild
It opened like a jaw
Came down in a salty smile
Ate up all it saw

[Verse 6]
Fifteen feet the ocean rose
Fifteen feet it fell
When that boat began to roll
Must have seemed like hell

[Verse 7]
Danny flew his stars and stripes
He had a wife and baby
Saw them in the sea that night
When he went down with the navy
