Tune: Denver

SOB: Son of a Bos'n Posted on May 23, 2015 by BobMay 23, 2015  

Original song, written to the tune of “Denver” around 1963.

  I went out on a bright Monday morning
when the sun was still young in the sky.
  I went and talked to my recruiter, Boys
and now I am wondering why.

  He said he was so glad to see me
and asked me to please come in side
  Then he started to tell me sea stories, Boys
While I went along for the ride.

  He told of of Frisco and Newport, too!
Said they were the friendliest towns
  And he didn't stop telling sea stories, Boys
Till my name on his papers was down.

  And now here I sit in the Navy
I'll be here till the day I die
  You see I just re-enlisted boys
And still I am wondering why.

 
Found in an old notebook on an undated, faded sheet of paper. It was written with a mechanical pencil and capitalization and punctuation is as shown. There is no reference to the name of the artist or the album that the song “Denver” came from.
