Down on the rocks

Adjacent to the shore

Lie the remains of a broken heart, a shattered soul for sure

It screams out silently to the indifferent passersby 

But none of their apathetic hearts 

Bothers to heed the cry


But then he came with a stone in one hand and an American flag in the other

He walked with a swagger and a smile hed inherited from his mother

He sat himself down next to that broken soul, now buried in the sand, and he

Selflessly offered him a melodic helping hand


He was a poet

His quill and ink consisted of six brass strings

He always knew that his music, the music

The people would sing

He sang a simple song

A song that could be heard by all

And if hed been there in time

He might have prevented the fall


Chorus


He was the Jamboree Man

Down by the Bay

Come one, come all

Pop a quarter, and

Let the sweet song play

Hell pop it back

Pick a tune, and

Push your cares away

So let me

Let me say goodbye, goodbye to 

All my woes and worries

For today


Well, if youre a simple soul in need of some simple atonement

Well hes got a song thatll take you from here and to Heaven and back

Listen to the melody

It could be your remedy

Dont turn away

Just let the tones and the drone of the music lift your cares away


He sang a simple song

A song that could be heard by all

And if hed been there in time

He might have prevented the Fall



Chorus


He was the Jamboree Man

Down by the Bay

Come one, come all

Pop a quarter and

Let the sweet song play

Hell pop it back, now

Pick a tune and

Push your cares away

So let me

Let me say, let me say goodbye now

Lemme say, lemme say, lemme say goodbye now
