Down Lyrics & Chords By The Quill

Down on the rocks
Adjacent to the shore
Lie the remains of a broken heart, a shattered soul for sure
It screams out silently to the indifferent passersby
But none of their apathetic hearts
Bothers to heed the cry
But then he came with a stone in one hand and an American flag in the other
He walked with a swagger and a smile hed inherited from his mother
He sat himself down next to that broken soul, now buried in the sand, and he
Selflessly offered him a melodic helping hand
He was a poet
His quill and ink consisted of six brass strings
He always knew that his music, the music
The people would sing
He sang a simple song
A song that could be heard by all
And if hed been there in time
He might have prevented the fall
Chorus
He was the Jamboree Man
Down by the Bay
Come one, come all
Pop a quarter, and
Let the sweet song play
Hell pop it back
Pick a tune, and
Push your cares away
So let me
Let me say goodbye, goodbye to
All my woes and worries
For today
Well, if youre a simple soul in need of some simple atonement
Well hes got a song thatll take you from here and to Heaven and back
Listen to the melody
It could be your remedy
Dont turn away
Just let the tones and the drone of the music lift your cares away
He sang a simple song
A song that could be heard by all
And if hed been there in time
He might have prevented the Fall
Chorus
He was the Jamboree Man
Down by the Bay
Come one, come all
Pop a quarter and
Let the sweet song play
Hell pop it back, now
Pick a tune and
Push your cares away
So let me
Let me say, let me say goodbye now
Lemme say, lemme say, lemme say goodbye now
