24.Son of a Son of a Sailor
Lyrics：Jimmy Buffett
Music：Jimmy Buffett
'Seems Like were visiting old songs like you visit old friends
Or Ships visit ports
This song first came out on a album called Son of a Son of a
Sailor
Back when it cost as much to do an album as it did an album
cover
Songs had a great ride and is still one of my favorites,
always a prennial favorite when we go out on tour
We got a new set of sails on it this year
We have the lovely miss Nadirah Shakoor gonna help us out on
this,
The Coral Reefers always on the cruise
So Let's set sail, shall we boys？'
As the son of a son of a sailor,
I went out on the sea for adventure,
Expanding the view of the captain and crew
Like a man just released from indenture.
As a dreamer of dreams and a travelin' man,
I have chalked up many a mile.
Read dozens of books about heroes and crooks,
And I've learned much from both of their styles.
Son of a son, son of a son, son of a son of a sailor.
Son of a gun; load the last ton
One step ahead of the jailer.
Now away in the near future, southeast of disorder,
You can shake the hand of the mango man
As he greets you at the border.
And the lady she hails from Trinidad,
Island of the spices.
Salt for your meat and cinnamon sweet,
And the rum is for all your good vices.
Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind that our
Forefathers harnessed before us.
Hear the bells ring as the tide rigging sings.
It's a son of a gun of a chorus.
Where it all ends I can't fathom, my friends.
If I knew, I might toss out my anchor.
So I'll cruise along always searchin' for songs,
Not a lawyer, a thief or a banker.
But a son of a son, son of a son, son of a son of a sailor.
Son of a gun, load the last ton
One step ahead of the jailer
I'm just a son of a son, son of a son, son of a son of a sailor
The sea's in my veins, my tradition remains.
I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer.
'I'll take the dock of ship any day.
Sail on Gardner McKay
Sail on Freddy Neil
Sail on George Harrison'
