Daddy Was A Navy Man

LARRY CORDLE, LARRY SHELL

I don't know why he liked the Water He'd never seen the ocean before
But he was young and thirsty for Adventure And our country was at war
The poster in the window
Promised A chance to see the World
And he figured that he had a Score to settle For the boys that died at pearl

He's proud and so am I
That he went and did his part
And I love to hear the stories that he tells Of typhoons, tattoos, geisha girls
And battles he's been in Okinawa, Iwo Jima, and Saipan And for the longest time
He wouldn't drive a car made in Japan Daddy was a navy man

Says it was just his duty That's why he volunteered
And when you're seventeen years old You're just too dumb to be scared
And there's some friends he talks about

He says he'll see again someday 'cause you know old sailors never die They just sail away

He's proud and so am I
That he went and did his part
And I love to hear the stories that he tells Of typhoons, tattoos, geisha girls
And battles he's been in Okinawa, Iwo Jima, and Saipan And for the longest time
He wouldn't drive a car made in Japan My Daddy was a navy man

Oh, My daddy was a navy man
