Sending The Old Man Home — текст песни (Jimmy Buffett)





Sending the old man home

By: jimmy buffett

1979

Theyre sendin the old man home

Back where the buffalo roam

Out in the pacific, they say he was the best

Now hes in his "civies", headin home like all the rest



Hell never forget rosa lee

Or sleepless nights he fought upon the sea

Hell only have the memories

Or great books by james jones



cause theyre sendin the old man home



Faraway (faraway)

Faraway (faraway)

Another life so very far away



Theyll tear down the officers clubs

And write off the overdue subs

So lets drink to their memories

Our heroes and our pals

To those crazy navy flyers

To those swell hawaiian gals



The sailors will dance in the street

Then theyll mothball the whole damn fleet

Well only have the picture books

Of land, and sea, and foam



cause theyre sendin the old man home



Hell only have his memories

Or great books by james jones

cause theyre sendin the old man home



Notes -

Background vocals: jimmy buffett, james taylor, deborah mccoll
