...somewhere, a dragon's head is bent in sorrow.
Puff the Magic Dragon by Peter, Paul and Mary
Puff, the magic Dragon, lived by the sea.
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hanalee.
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal puff,
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff.
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail,
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow when'er they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flag when Puff roared out his name.
Puff, the magic Dragon, lived by the sea.
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hanalee.
A Dragon lives forever but not so little boys,
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more,
And Puff the magic Dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain.
Puff no longer went to play along the Cherry Lane.
Without his life long friend, Puff could not be brave,
So Puff that mighty Dragon sadly slipped into his cave.
Puff, the magic Dragon, lived by the sea.
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hanalee.
