Does anyone have the complete set of lyrics to this old Peter, Paul and Mary song. It used to be one of my favorites and I'd like to share it with my daughter. Thanks in advance.

I just listened to the song again to make sure I knew the words, so these should be correct: Puff, the Magic Dragon lived by the sea and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff and brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff Oh, Puff, the Magic Dragon lived by the sea and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee Puff, the Magic Dragon lived by the sea and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sails Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name Oh, Puff, the Magic Dragon lived by the sea and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee Puff, the Magic Dragon lived by the sea and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys Painted wings and giants' wings make way for other toys One grey night it happened: Jackie Paper came no more and 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 Without his lifelong friend Puff could not be brave So Puff, that mighty dragon, sadly slipped into his cave Oh, Puff, the Magic Dragon lived by the sea and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee Puff, the Magic Dragon lived by the sea and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee

I want to thank everyone who responded to my request for lyrics to Puff the Magic Dragon. There were a few discrepancies regarding some of the lyrics but basically all responses were the same. Again, thanks. Its nice to eliminate some of the humming I was doing.
