Johnny Horton John Paul Jones Lyrics

John Paul Jones Lyrics

When John Paul Jones was a little boy he pointed to the sea

Said when I get to be a man a fightin' man I'll be

I'll leave my mark on the ocean and my name in history

When John Paul was a member of the British Admirality

He killed a sailor on his ship which was a crime you see

He changes his name to JP Jones and came to Amerik-e

He fought in the rain he fought in the sun and he fought in the moonlight
too

He fought with his knife he fought with his gun

And he fought till his blood ran through

Well John Paul was a fightin' man a fightin' man was he

He sailed to the east and he sailed to the west and he helped set America
free

[ banjo ]

When John Paul was a Captain in the US Mable Band

A fightin' for our glory and the freedom of our land

He made those British captains wish that they were on dry land

He sent their mighty vessels to bottom of the sea

He took their bags of treasure and he sank that chest of T

He gave his blood for all free men and his life for liberty

He fought in the rain...

[ banjo ]

He fought in the rain...
