  • African friend
  • By: jimmy buffett
  • 1978
  • Disembarking at duvalier airport
  • Seeking transportation to town
  • As the purple ink dried on his passport
  • He could still feel the eyes look around
  • Messieur ou y est casino? [ do you know where the casino is sir? ]
  • Spoke to the cabbie and smiled
  • Driver replied vieux ou noveaux. [ old or new? ]
  • As he motioned the dark man inside
  • Business in aruba concluded
  • He now had a little money to spend
  • Thats how I came to meet my african friend
  • We were rolling the bones several hours
  • Conversing as most gamblers do
  • We were calling on all of our powers
  • Hopin to see the night through
  • But not approving at all of our winnings
  • Pit boss he tugged at his sleeve
  • Through the whole thing my new friend was grinning
  • When he motioned its time we should leave
  • With our night at the tables behind us
  • We were ready just to do it again
  • Thats when I came to know my african friend
  • But I woke up on the steps of a whorehouse
  • Soldier told me Id better leave
  • As I stumbled to find me a taxi
  • I saw a note pinned to my sleeve
  • It was a pleasure and a hell of an evenin
  • Truly was our night to win.
  • But the authorities insist on my leaving
  • Take care my american friend.
  • With my weekend at haiti concluded
  • I now had a little money to spend
  • Thats when I came to meet my african friend
  • Thats how I came to know another good friend
  • This album is dedicated to juan cadiz, save the whales, save the earth,
  • Support greenpeace.
