My son John was tall and slim And he had a leg for every limb But now hes got no legs at all For he ran a race with a cannonball Oh were you deaf or were you blind When you left your two fine legs behind? Or was it sailing on the sea Wore your two fine legs right down to your knee? I was not deaf, I was not blind When I left my two fine legs behind Nor was it sailing on the sea Wore me two fine legs right down to me knee

0 people got their legs shot away by a canonball.
