A sailor by the name of Jones
For he was long at sea
Until he met a woman
That told him of all he could be.
She told him he could have her heart
If only just one thing,
Once upon a time, a brave lost sailor washed up on my shore.
The ocean spat him out, leaving him worn and tired.
I took him into my home.
He was the only true man I’ve seen in centuries.
