Puff The Magic Dragon Peter，Paul & Mary - Moving
Peter,Paul & Mary这支美国最杰出的民谣三重唱组合，可能现在很多朋友对他们多半还一无所知。也许这并不奇怪，但是实在可惜，因为他们早在上世纪60年代就已经享誉世界了。三位成员分别是Peter Yarrow（男歌手兼吉他手）、 Paul Stookey（男歌手兼吉他手）和Mary Travers（女歌手）。他们唱自己的歌，也唱Bob Dylan、Joan Baez、Pete Seeger（The Weavers即著名的“纺织工”四人合唱团的主将）等民谣大师的作品。
他们和Bob Dylan、Joan Baez、Joni Mitchell等民谣同仁一起积极地投身于那个时代的民谣改革与民权运动，反战而呼吁和平，唱出了那个时代最清新、最深沉、最正直同时也最优美的声音。
他们在网上广为人知的一个的专辑是The Very Best Of Peter, Paul & Mary。精选辑共有25曲，其中 “Puff, the Magic Dragon”、"If I Had A Hammer"、 "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" 、 "This Land Is Your Land" 、 "Early Mornin' Rain" 、 "I Dig Rock And Roll Music" 都是彼得、保罗与玛丽三重唱不可或缺的名作。
歌曲《Puff, the Magic Dragon》是一首由Leonard Lipton及Peter Yarrow填词的歌曲，并由Peter, Paul and Mary原唱，于1963年录制发行。歌曲发行后被广为流传，尤其在美国及英国知名度最高。
这首歌曲的歌词是基于当时19岁、正就读于康乃尔大学的利普顿所作的一首诗歌。他是由美国诗人Ogden Nash所创作的一首名叫《Custard the Dragon》的诗歌获得的灵感。他创作完自己的那首诗歌后，便把它交给他的朋友——同样就读于康乃尔大学的耶罗，后者后来将这首诗歌改编为歌曲，并将更多的内容放在其歌词中。
这首歌的歌词是一个关于一只名叫Puff、长生不老的龙跟他的玩伴Jackie Paper的小故事。故事是说Jackie Paper小时候整天跟Puff玩耍，但当他长大后，却对虚构的探险不感兴趣，更没有理会Puff。这令Puff生活在孤独和沮丧之中。
歌词：
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
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 Honah Lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on puffs gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flag 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 Honah Lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings 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 life-long 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 Honah Lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.
