Lee's Parrot Head Page, That is..
This is my tribute to my all-time favorite musician, Jimmy Buffett, and his band, the Coral Reefers, whose music I have enjoyed for almost as long as I can remember. Fins up, dudes, this pirate's looking at 40. *lol*
To my best friend, Gary, thanks for my boxed set, dude! Meet Jimmy Buffett:
Now, pull up a hammock and fix yourself a drink:
The midi file playing is entitled: "A Pirate Looks at Forty" by Jimmy Buffett, 1974. The lyrics are as follows:
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've 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 don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder,
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late...
I've done a bit of smuggling', I've run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miama, 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 to 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, they'd come back one day
Still could manage to smile
Just takes a while, just takes a while
Mother, mother ocean, after all the years I've found
My occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around
I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown,
Coda:
I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown.
