These mondegreen lyrics are hilarious! John Wayne? The film star anti-hero?? This song's about Roanoke Colony and John White's request that they mark a tree as well as using the legend as a metaphor for a modern situation. "John Wayne" should be "John White" "Want out" should be "worn out" "I'm gonna build this sail" should be "Soon a boat will sail" My bones "cost" me (?) should be "My bones must leave" I praise the lord, now "I'll do it" (??) should be "I've faced alone, now I do weep for," "But I'm her lover And death do me" should read "I've heard lovers in death do meet" |
