The marines have landed on the shores of Santo Domingo. The fishermen sweat, they're pausing at their nets, the day's a-burning As the warships sway and thunder in the bay, loud the morning. But the boy on the shore is throwing pebbles no more, he runs a-warning That the the marines have landed on the shores of Santo Domingo. The streets are still, there's silence in the hills, the town is sleeping And the farmers yawn in the grey silver dawn, the fields they're keeping As the first troops land and step into the sand, the flags are weaving. The marines have landed on the shores of Santo Domingo. The unsmiling sun is shining down upon the singing soldiers In the cloud dust whirl they whistle at the girls, they're getting bolder The old women sigh, think of memories gone by, they shrug their shoulders. The marines have landed on the shores of Santo Domingo. Ready for the tricks, their bayonets are fixed, now they are rolling And the tanks make tracks past the trembling shacks where fear's unfolding All the young wives afraid, turn their backs to the parade with babes they're holding The marines have landed on the shores of Santo Domingo A bullet cracks the sound, the army hit the ground, the sniper's callin' So they open their guns, a thousand to one, no sense in stalling He clutches at his head and totters on the edge, look now he's falling The marines have landed on the shores of Santo Domingo In the red plaza square, the crowds come to stare, the heat is leaning And the eyes of the dead are turning every head to the widows screaming But the soldiers make a bid, giving candy to the kids, their teeth are gleaming The marines have landed on the shores of Santo Domingo Up and down the coast, the generals drink a toast, the wheel is spinning And the cowards and the whores are peeking through the doors to see who's winning But the traitors will pretend that it's getting near the end, when it's beginning The marines have landed on the shores of Santo Domingo And the crabs are crazy, they scuttle back and forth, the sand is burning And the fish take flight and scatter from the sight, their courses turning As the seagulls rest on the cold cannon nest, the sea is churning The marines have landed on the shores of Santo Domingo Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Pleasures Of The Harbor, Rehearsals For Retirement, Tape From California, The Scorpion Departs But Never Returns, The War Is Over, Outside Of A Small Circle Of Friends, Bracero, Changes, Cops Of The World, Heres To The State Of Mississippi, I Aint Marching Anymore, Is There Anybody Here, Love Me, Im A Liberal, One More Parade, Ringing Of Revolution, The Highwayman, There But For Fortune, Too Many Martyrs, Whats That I Hear, Im Going To Say It Now, Joe Hill, Another Age, Crucifixion, I Kill Therefore I Am, The Bells, The Doll House, A Toast To Those Who Are Gone, Bound For Glory, In The Heat Of The Summer, Miranda, Morning, Pretty Smart On My Part, Song Of My Returning, Thats What I Want To Hear, The Confession, We Seek No Wider War, When Im Gone, White Boots Marching In A Yellow Land, Ballad of Oxford (Jimmy Meredith), City Boy, Colored Town, Do What I Have To Do, Ill Be There, No Christmas in Kentucky, Paul Crump, Ballad Of Medgar Evers, Davey Moore, How Long, Links On The Chain, Talking Birmingham Jam, Other Ochs Phil song Lyrics Bracero Lyrics Cannons Of Christianity Lyrics Changes Lyrics Cops Of The World Lyrics Im Going to Say It Now Lyrics Is There Anybody Here Lyrics Love Me Im A Liberal Lyrics Love Me, Im a Liberal Lyrics Power And Glory Lyrics Ringing Of Revolution Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Oconnell Maura Lyrics Oconnor Hazel Lyrics Oconnor Sinead Lyrics Octagon Dr Lyrics Octavia Lyrics October 31 Lyrics October Project Lyrics Oda Lyrics Odd Man Out Lyrics Odd Nordstoga Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
