Son of a gun load the last ton One step a head of the jailer
Now away in the near furture 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 you meat and cinamon sweet and the rum if for all you dood 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
When it all ends I can't fathom my friends
If I knew I might toss out my anchor
So I'll cruse a long always searching
for song not a lawyer a thief or a banker
Ending Twice:
but a son of a son son of a son -- son of a son son of a son
son of a son of a salior son of a son of a salior
Son of a gun load the last ton The sea's in my veins; my tradition remains
one step ahead of the jailer I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer

: :Hello everyone. This is my second request. I can't find it at Nevada, so :does anyone out there know the crd's or tab's to Jimmy Buffet's Son of a :Son of a Sailor. Thanks, : :Mikel
Sure do. Nevada's new maintainers will most likely be getting the rest of the stuff that I had unsuccessfully been trying to send for a while. BTW, there is THE Buffett archive in case you all might want to check it out. It's available via anonymous FTP at the Ventura site located at Ball State. It's address is:
147.226.57.196 /pub/buffett/lyrics/chords
They also have compiled lyrics to all albums by name. FTP there and poke around...
Sorry for the chatter; here's the music...
Son Of A Son Of A Sailor By Jimmy Buffett
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 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
Chorus:
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 boarder
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 ringing 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 searching for songs Not a lawyer a thief or a banker
But the 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
