The Scourge of John Paul Jones
By Steven Meek
[Intro]
C F C G7
John Paul Jones, the sailor from Kirkbean, who shouted out “I’ve no began to fight”
C F C G C
Father of the US Navy, a man so damn contrary, both a pirate and a chevalier was Jones.
[Verse 1]
C F C G7
Jones he had a nemesis, a faither of The Kirk, a man of fire and apocalypse
C F C G C
And with all of the confusion, of American revolution, he knew about the threat from pirate ships
C F C G7
Reverand Shirra was his name, the Langtoun was his hame, a man of the cloth he preached along The Links
C F C G C
Well he watched as the US Navy, in an ocean wild and wavy, nearly lose the Bonhomme Richard down the drink
[Verse 2]
C F C G7
So, from Ireland, round by John o’ Groats, past Aberdeen and Crail, a man of vision a genius some would say
C F C G C
But the silly little loddie, shouldae sailed on past Kirkcaldy, instead he anchored off roond Lergie Bay
C F C G7
So Shirra’s congregation, in panic and frustration, marched up tae Pathhead Sands for all to pray
C F C G C
“Could the lord of all creation, deliver us salvation, and whip up a storm that’ll blow these ships away”
[Chorus]
C F C G7
John Paul Jones, the sailor from Kirkbean, who shouted out “I’ve no began to fight”
C F C G C
Father of the US Navy, a man so damn contrary, both a pirate and a chevalier was Jones.
[Verse 3]
C F C G7
So from now until forever, when you see Links Market weather, don’t moan and curse the early April breeze
C F C G C
Remember Shirra in his wisdom, for the safety of the Kingdom, seen off the last great pirate on the seas
[Chorus]
C F C G7
John Paul Jones, the sailor from Kirkbean, who shouted out “I have not yet begun to fight!”
C F C G C
Father of the US Navy, a man so damn contrary, both a pirate and a chevalier was Jones.
Harmonica outro…
[Outro]
C G C
Just a pirate and a bucaneer was Jones.
