There is a tale that the island people tell
A7 D
Don't know if it is true but I love it so well
Jolly Mon sings for his supper every night
A7 D
People fed him well 'cause he treated 'em so right
G F#m Em A D
Whoa whoa whoa, Jolly Mon sing
G F#m Em A D
Whoa whoa whoa, make Orion ring
Well he always like to go to the islands near and far
He always found his way by Orion, lucky star
He'd tell them of their joys, he'd tell them of their woes
They'd love to see him come and they'd hate to see him go
CHORUS
He was makin' his way home on a dark and stormy night
When he heard a cry for help and he saw the passing light
When he reached the other boat, offered them a hand
They said give us all your cargo as they took a pirate
stand
CHORUS
Jolly Mon it's over sing your last song very well
They tossed him in the ocean 'cause their hearts were made
in hell
Came along a dolphin, he said Jolly Mon, hello
I've always loved your singin' climb on board,
don't let go
CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL
The night was filled with magic, they bid the sea goodbye
They swam into the heavens and they stayed up in the sky
And all the island people when they wish upon a star
See the dolphin and the Jolly Mon who tell them where they
are
