Текст песни Jefferson Airplane - Long John Silver (Live at the Winterland Ballroom, (Long John Silver 1972)

[Verse 1]
Long John Silver, ring in his ear
He's the hero, make that clear
Does the same thing his father did
Sailing around the Caribbean
Robbing kings with his talking parrot
This time I think he's on the high side

[Verse 2]
Scabs are forming, scraped his knee
Guards are warning, a bad man is free
He's like electric clock that needs no winding
Keeps your time without your hands
Western feet, they need no binding
Take a barefoot run through old Japan

[Bridge]
He's seen a thousand countries
They're all the same
Some men are crazy
Some of them sane
But all men are ruled by a flag or a game
And he knows nobody's got you if you don't
You don't sign your name

[Verse 3]
Long John Silver serves no king
No land holds him, that's why he feels like singing
Every country now and then
Roars like Irish, drunk and singing
Every monk will now and then call his men
To hear the wenches night bells ringing
