Peter, Paul & Mary’s gentle 1963 folk tune about a boy and his dragon is a bittersweet ode to childhood’s end. Often rumored (incorrectly) to be about drugs, it was actually based on a poem about lost innocence. The trio’s warm harmonies carried “Puff” into the Top 10 and made it a beloved sing-along. Even decades later, little Jackie Paper’s wistful story still tugs at listeners’ heartstrings.
