Sailor Jack Lyrics by Grant Hart

Hot Wax

2009

He's a silver nitrate shadow
On a field unbroken white
When a ship comes into focus
See him in the sweet harbor light
As a boy he went to wonder
As a man he went to sea
Now when pirates come to plunder
He defeats them effortlessly
Sailor Jack
Sailor Jack
Sailor Jack
Sailor Jack
He feeds on broken new horizons
He sees a great big flash of light
No wrecks come (?)
Not as long as Jack is on (?)
(Chorus)
Sailor Jack, well he's alright
He knows a half-hitch, he knows a bow-tie
He knows what all good sailors know
The skies above tell him where to go
He knows the sea and the water signs
He knows the landmarks, he knows the shoreline
He knows a girl in every port, he's a good sport
Good sport, good sport, good sport
Jack
He makes a great big (?)
Where the heart grows strong and pure
Where the ghosts of (?)
Captain Jack will always endure
(Chorus)
