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

       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
