Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world. For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.

Puff The Magic Dragon
Peter, Paul and Mary
Oh Puff
The magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land call Honahly
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings
And sealing wax
And other fancy stuff
Oh Puff
The magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honahly
Puff
The magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land call Honahly
Together
They would travel
On a boat with billowed sail
And Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff’s gigantic tail
Noble kings and princes
Would bow whenever they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags
When Puff roared out his name
Oh Puff
The magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honahly
Puff
The magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land call Honahly
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
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 Puff
The magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honahly
Puff
The magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land call Honahly

We used to sing "Green Grow the Rushes Oh" which is similar to "Children Go" the only version of which that I know is by Joe and Eddie. Way better than PP&M.
ReplyDeletehttp://youtu.be/UozDAfeEa-c. Joe and Eddie are the BEST. Check them out on youtube. Especially "There's A Meeting Here Tonight" Fabulous!
Any way the fun of "Green Grow the Rushes" is that you sing it faster and faster and by the time you are singing back from 12 everyone dissolves into giggles.
Puff the Magic Dragon - I was so innocent as a child - had no idea what it was really about! lol
ReplyDeleteIt has been a while since I heard both of these tunes,thanks for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Grace!!! I thought the chorus to "Jane Jane" sound very familiar, but the title didn't ring any bells. I'll check our Joe and Eddie. Thanks for telling me about them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Sandie!!! Listening to Puff on the radio is one of my clearest memories of my childhood. Of course, I didn't realize that it is really a rather sad song, and I don't believe that it has anything to do with smoking pot, as some do.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Mike!!! Same here. I am glad you enjoyed them.
ReplyDeleteI grew up in a "singing" church and there are darn few hymns and gospel songs I don't know - none of the new ones of course - since I haven't belonged to a church in many years. I did work in one for a while a few years back, a very lovely Methodist church in Alexandria VA - good people they are. I grew up in the Hollis Avenue Congregational Church in Queens, NY. When I mentioned it to one of the ladies at the Methodist Church she said "Oh that's why you know so many hymns - they sing a lot" and Yes we did.
ReplyDeleteDear oh dear.....
ReplyDeleteIt's been ages since I've heard Puff the Magic Dragon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Grace!!! I have never been to a Congregational Church, but it sure sounds like one that I would like to if I was able to get out and about.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Adullamite!!! Constipation?
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! I wish I knew where Puff's cave is. For it makes me sad that he feels so neglected.
