  • By: jimmy buffett
  • 1974
  • Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
  • Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
  • Youve seen it all, youve seen it all
  • Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
  • And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen
  • Most of em dream, most of em dream
  • Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
  • The cannons dont thunder, theres nothin to plunder
  • Im an over-forty victim of fate
  • Arriving too late, arriving too late
  • Ive done a bit of smugglin, Ive run my share of grass
  • I made enough money to buy miami, but I pissed it away so fast
  • Never meant to last, never meant to last
  • And I have been drunk now for over two weeks
  • I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
  • But I got stop wishin, got to go fishin
  • Down to rock bottom again
  • Just a few friends, just a few friends
  • (instrumental)
  • I go for younger women, lived with several awhile
  • Though I ran em away, theyd come back one day
  • Still could manage to smile
  • Just takes a while, just takes a while
  • Mother, mother ocean, after all the years Ive found
  • My occupational hazard being my occupations just not around
  • I feel like Ive drowned, gonna head uptown
  • Coda:
  • I feel like Ive drowned, gonna head uptown
