The Tragedy of "Puff the Magic Dragon"

I love "Puff the Magic Dragon." And the Peter, Paul and Mary recording cannot be beat. It is awesome to the 270th degree. But I cry each moment I hear it defiled by people saying it's about drugs. It's such a sad song. The little boy has his friend but then he grows up. And when Jackie doesn't come anymore, Puff doesn't have any reason to live, and it's so sad. And sometimes I cry. But why do we have to destroy the way that see Puff and his friends? Talk about depressing. And then people try to ruin it with drug connotations, and it makes me sad. 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.
