Son of a Son of a Sailor

作曲：Jimmy Buffett

As the son of the son of a sailor

I went out on the sea for adventure

Expanding their view of the captain and crew

Like a man just released from their denture

As a dreamer of dreams and a traveling man

I have chalked up many a mile

Read dozens of books about heroes and crooks

And I 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 tongue

One step ahead of the jailer

Now away and the dear 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

So for your meat and cinnamon sweet

And the rummets are all your good vices

Ball the sheet in as we ride on the wind

Let our forefathers harness before us

Hear the bells ring as the tide rigging sings

It's the 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 anger

So I cruise along always searching 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 seas in my veins

My tradition remains

I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer
