Song | Captain Jim's Drunken Dream |

作词 : James Taylor | |
作曲 : James Taylor | |
Now you country fools in your one horse town you can laugh at me | |
It's plain as rain that you've never been down to the Southern sea | |
To see me now is like watching a fish on dry land | |
I only wish you could see me down in the islands | |
Mister, that's my home | |
What a fool I was to leave the only happiness I've known | |
You see me coming, you wink your eye and call me Captain Jim | |
And when I don't do nothing but to walk on by | |
You say babe, get a load of him | |
All I need is the sea and the sky and I know where I stand | |
Instead of you hicks straight out of the sticks deciding I ain't a man | |
You'll never understand | |
Up here I'm just a whisky bum but down there I'm a king | |
Sounds just like the angels up in heaven when they sing | |
Welcome home, welcome home | |
(Let me hear it) Such a sight to see | |
Instead of some Salvation Army sister | |
Singing "Nearer My God To Thee" | |
Now I know that Yankee whisky has taken away my mind | |
And I know that rum is the only drink suitable to mankind | |
And I know that this tree I'm under is shaped entirely wrong | |
I need to see a gentle palm tree and I won't wait too long | |
I can feel that it's coming on strong | |
The first cold wind of winter is flapping in my clothes | |
Showing me the way with the direction that it blows | |
Welcome home, welcome home | |
Let it blow, welcome home | |
Welcome home, welcome home | |
It's such a sight to see | |
Instead of some Salvation Army sister | |
Singing "Nearer My God To Thee" | |
Let me hear it oh yeah | |
Welcome home, welcome home | |
Welcome home mmh yeah | |
Welcome home, welcome home |
