D    
There is a tale that the island people tell 
                               A7         D 
Don't know if it is true but I love it so well 
 
Jolly Mon sings for his supper every night  
                               A7             D 
People fed him well 'cause he treated 'em so right 
 
      
       G    F#m  Em    A         D            
       Whoa whoa whoa, Jolly Mon sing     
       G    F#m  Em    A         D    
       Whoa whoa whoa, make Orion ring  
 
Well he always like to go to the islands near and far 

He always found his way by Orion, lucky star 

He'd tell them of their joys, he'd tell them of their woes 

They'd love to see him come and they'd hate to see him go 
 
    CHORUS 
 
He was makin' his way home on a dark and stormy night 

When he heard a cry for help and he saw the passing light 

When he reached the other boat, offered them a hand 

They said give us all your cargo as they took a pirate 

 stand 
 
    CHORUS 
 
Jolly Mon it's over sing your last song very well 

They tossed him in the ocean 'cause their hearts were made  

 in hell 

Came along a dolphin, he said Jolly Mon, hello 

I've always loved your singin' climb on board, 

 don't let go 
 
    CHORUS 
 
  INSTRUMENTAL 
 
The night was filled with magic, they bid the sea goodbye 

They swam into the heavens and they stayed up in the sky 

And all the island people when they wish upon a star 

See the dolphin and the Jolly Mon who tell them where they 

 are
