Puff The Magic Dragon

Peter, Paul & Mary


Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Ho-nah-Lee
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff, and
Brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. Oh!

Chorus
   Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
   And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Ho-nah-Lee
   Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
   And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Ho-nah Lee

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 when-e’er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flag when Puff roared out his name. Oh!

Repeat Chorus

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
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, With-
out his lifelong friend Puff could not be brave.    So
Puff that mighty dragon, sadly slipped into his cave. Oh!

Repeat Chorus
