Текст (слова) песни: Kingston Trio - Fairwell Captain
Mike Stewart
Chorus: Farewell to you, captain, the bravest in command. Goodbye to all the soldiers who didn`t give a damn For we`re goin` back to Richmond, buddy, leavin` here today. Gonna sell our rifles for a jug and get drunk along the way.
`Twas in Virginia harbor Gen`ral Parker disappeared, tied sleeping soundly to a tree. How we wept as we launched him and so cheerfully we cheered as the gen`ral drifted slowly out to sea.
(Chorus)
At the battle of Manasses, I had my certain chance to bravely fight the red and white and blue. I was so blasted brave I stuck branches in my pants and, yes, I played a tree `til it was through.
Please don`t think that we are cowards. What a horrible suggestion! It`s just that we don`t feel that we belong. Bobby misses his dear mother, John has acid indigestion and I think I feel a migraine coming on.
(Chorus)
Farewell to you, captain, we`re goin` to leave you now
