Lyrics Fairport Convention – John My Son
Text:
John, my son, don’t join the Navy, there’s no good in it, I know
Plant your seeds on solid ground and watch your harvest grow
John, my son, don’t join the Navy, that’s clay that’s underneath your skin
John, my son, don’t join the Navy, don’t go leaving your kith and kin
