Lyrics Peter, Paul and Mary

Peter, Paul and Mary

Puff, the Magic Dragon

1. Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea

and frolicked in the autumn mist

in a land called Honah-Lee

little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff

and brought him strings and sealing wax

and other fancy stuff oh!

R: Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea

and frolicked in the autumn mist

in a land called Honah-Lee

Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea

and frolicked in the autumn mist

in a land called Honah-Lee.

2. Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail

Jackie kept a look-out perched

on Puff's gigantic tail

noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came

pirate ships would low'r their flag

when Puff roared out his name oh!

R:

3. A dragon lives forever but not so little boys

painted wings and giant rings

make way for other toys

one grey night it happened Jackie Paper came no more

and Puff that mighty dragon

he ceased his fearless roar oh!

R:

4. His head was bent in sorrow green scales fell like rain

Puff no longer went to play

along the cherry lane

without his life-long friend Puff could not be brave

so Puff that mighty dragon

sadly slipped into his cave oh!

R:
