Captain John

The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
In an aero-plane a man was seen Holding his banjo by a string I'll send by bird a greeting word To thank him for singing But a group of men gather round And they all decide to shoot him down And a group of men gather round And they all decide to shoot him down But the aeroplane captain gripped Tightly to his reins He's holding on his steam engine Still pickin' while he sinks He doesn't pay them no mind He just listens to the voice inside He doesn't pay them no mind Just listens to the voice inside Oh Captain John, are you still holding on Oh Captain John, are you still smoking one Oh Captain John, are there heads up there in heaven Yeah Captain John, you still holding The men had came with autumn rain And offered John the same To build his things as he saw fit And make him stinking rich But his vision took a turnaround And it almost went an' took him down His vision took a turnaround And it almost went an' took him down But our man John he wasn't done A trick up on his sleeve He built upon a foundation So solid it wouldn't creak And when the men came around He hopped inside his ship and bound And when the men came around He hopped inside his ship and bound Oh Captain John, are you still holding on Oh Captain John, are you still smoking one Oh Captain John, are there heads up there in heaven Yeah Captain John, you still holding Oh Captain John, are you still holding on Oh Captain John, are you still smoking one Oh Captain John, are there heads up there in heaven Yeah Captain John, you still holding But a group of men gather round And they all decide to shoot him down
