about

This song was written as a tribute to the crew of the lost Miss Ally capsized off Nova Scotia this week with prayers and healing thoughts it is dedicated to their friends and family.

lyrics

Dear Davey Jones Copyright D.Dagenais February 20, 2013

They left Tuesday” she said
to fish The Gully
where the ocean floor drops off the map
It’s been almost a week
and all these search teams
have begun throwing up their hands

But I still have hope
So I wrote this note
And sealed it up in a blue bottle
Dear Davey Jones
Let him come home
What’s one more or less on the bottom?

When the weather turned foul
off Sable Isle
at first I was sure they‘d be in
There were hours then days
The authorities say
That chances are now very slim

But I still have hope
So I wrote this note
And set it out on the grey waves
Dear Davey Jones
Let him come home
What’s one more or less in your grave?

All of the young men with pride in their eyes
At least we can say they lived how they died
Not knowing fear like young cavaliers
But the ocean is nobody’s bride

They left Tuesday she said
On the deck of Miss Ally
Somewhere they dropped off the map
It’s been more than a week
and the last search team
Tells me they’re not coming back

But I still have hope
So I wrote this note
And tied it up in a white string
Dear Davey Jones
Let him come home
To you he means not a damn thing

(Bridge)
