《P. T. 109》歌词

[00:00:00] P. T. 109 - Jimmy Dean/Charlie Byrd (查利·伯德站)

[00:00:05] In forty-three they put to sea thirteen men and Kennedy

[00:00:11] Aboard the PT 109 to fight the brazen enemy

[00:00:16] And off the isle of Olasana in the straits beyond the roo

[00:00:21] A Jap destroyer in the night cut the 109 in two

[00:00:28] Smoke and fire upon the sea

[00:00:30] Everywhere they looked was the enemy

[00:00:33] The heathen gods of old Japan

[00:00:35] Yeah they thought they had the best of a mighty good man

[00:00:43] And on the coast of Kolombangaro looking through his telescope

[00:00:48] Australia's Evans saw the battle for the crew had little hope

[00:00:53] Two were dead some were wounded all were clinging to the bow

[00:00:58] Fighting fire and a-fighting water trying to save their lives somehow

[00:01:05] Smoke and fire upon the sea

[00:01:08] Everywhere they looked was the enemy

[00:01:10] The heathen gods of old Japan

[00:01:13] Yeah they thought they had the best of a mighty good man

[00:01:21] McMahon the Irishman was burned so badly he couldn't swim

[00:01:26] Leave me here go on he said 'cause if you don't we'll all be dead

[00:01:31] The PT skipper couldn't leave him a man to die alone at sea

[00:01:36] And with a strap between his teeth he towed the Irishman through the sea

[00:01:44] Smoke and fire upon the sea

[00:01:46] Everywhere they looked was the enemy

[00:01:48] The heathen gods of old Japan

[00:01:51] Yeah they thought they had the best of a mighty good man

[00:01:59] He led his men through waters dark rocky reefs and hungry sharks

[00:02:04] Braved the enemies bayonets a thirty-eight hung round his neck

[00:02:09] Four more days and four more nights a rescue boat pulled into sight

[00:02:14] The PT 109 was gone but Kennedy and his crew lived on

[00:02:21] Now who could guess or who could possibly know

[00:02:25] That this same man named Kennedy

[00:02:31] Would be the leader of the nation be the one to take command

[00:02:37] The PT 109 was gone but Kennedy lived to fight again

[00:02:44] Smoke and fire upon the sea

[00:02:47] Everywhere they looked was the enemy but JFK and his crew lived on

[00:02:53] Which proves it's hard to get the best of a man named John

[00:03:00] Big John big John big John
