PT109 - Jimmy Dean
In '43 they put to sea thirteen men and Kennedy
Aboard the PT 109 to fight the brazen enemy
And off the isle of Olasana in the straight beyond Naru
A Jap destroyer in the night cut the 109 in two
Smoke and fire upon the sea
Everywhere they looked was the enemy
The heathen gods of old Japan yeah
They thought had the best of a mighty good man
And on the coast of Kolombangara
Looking through this telescope
Australian Evans saw the battle for
The crew had little hope
Two were dead and some were
Wounded all were clinging to the bow
Fightin' fire and flightin' water trying
To save themselves somehow
Smoke and fire upon the sea
Everywhere they looked was the enemy
The heathen gods of old Japan
Yeah the thought they had the
Best of a mighty good man
McMahon the Irishman was
Burned so badly he couldn't swim
Leave me here go on he said
Cause if you don't we'll all be dead
The PT skipper couldn't leave
Him a man to die alone at sea
And with a strap between his teeth he
Towed the Irishman through the sea
Smoke and fire upon the sea
Everywhere they looked was the enemy
The heathen gods of old Japan
Yeah the thought they had the
Best of a mighty good man
He led his men through waters dark
Rocky reefs and hungry sharks
He braved the enemy's bayonets
A thirty eight hung round his neck
Four more days and four more nights
A rescue boat pulled into sight
The PT 109 was gone but
Kennedy and his crew lived on
Now who could guess who could possibly
Know that same man named Kennedy
Would be the leader of the nation
Be the one to take command
The PT 109 was gone
But Kennedy lived to fight again
Smoke and fire upon the sea
Everywhere they looked was the enemy
But JFK and his crew lived on
Which proves it's hard to
Get the best of a man named John
Big John Big John Big John
