Текст (слова) песни: Jimmy Buffett - Sending the Old Man Home
Sending the Old Man Home By: Jimmy Buffett 1979 They`re sendin` the old man home Back where the buffalo roam Out in the Pacific, they say he was the best Now he`s in his "civies", headin` home like all the rest
He`ll never forget Rosa Lee Or sleepless nights he fought upon the sea He`ll only have the memories Or great books by James Jones
`Cause they`re sendin` the old man home
Faraway (Faraway) Faraway (Faraway) Another life so very far away
They`ll tear down the officers clubs And write off the overdue subs So let`s 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 they`ll mothball the whole damn fleet We`ll only have the picture books Of land, and sea, and foam
`Cause they`re sendin` the old man home
He`ll only have his memories Or great books by James Jones `Cause they`re sendin` the old man home
Notes - Background Vocals: Jimmy Buffett, James Taylor, Deborah McColl
