Lyrics Sending the Old Man Home - Jimmy Buffett
Sending
the
Old
Man
Home
By:
Jimmy
Buffett
1979
They′re
sendin'
the
old
man
home
Back
where
the
buffalo
roam
Out
in
the
Pacific,
they
say
he
was
the
best
Now
he′s
in
his
"civies",
headin'
home
like
all
the
rest
He'll
never
forget
Rosa
Lee
Or
sleepless
nights
he
fought
upon
the
sea
He′ll
only
have
the
memories
Or
great
books
by
James
Jones
′Cause
they're
sendin′
the
old
man
home
Faraway
(Faraway)
Faraway
(Faraway)
Another
life
so
very
far
away
They'll
tear
down
the
officers
clubs
And
write
off
the
overdue
subs
So
let′s
drink
to
their
memories
Our
heroes
and
our
pals
To
those
crazy
Navy
flyers
To
those
swell
Hawaiian
gals
The
sailors
will
dance
in
the
street
Then
they'll
mothball
the
whole
damn
fleet
We′ll
only
have
the
picture
books
Of
land,
and
sea,
and
foam
'Cause
they're
sendin′
the
old
man
home
He′ll
only
have
his
memories
Or
great
books
by
James
Jones
'Cause
they′re
sendin'
the
old
man
home
