Tin Cup Chalice |
|
1974 |
|
I wanna back to the island |
|
Where the shrimp boats tie up to the pilin' |
|
Gimme oysters and beer |
|
For dinner every day of the year and I'll feel fine |
|
I'll feel fine |
|
Chorus: |
|
I wanna be there |
|
Wanna go back down and lie beside the sea there |
|
With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine |
|
And I'm a' chewin' on a honeysuckle vine |
|
Yeah now, the sun goes slidin' 'cross the water |
|
Sailboats they go searchin' for the breeze |
|
Salt air it ain't thin |
|
It can stick right to your skin and make you feel fine |
|
Makes you feel fine |
|
Chorus: |
|
I wanna be there |
|
Wanna go back down and a' get high by the sea there |
|
With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine |
|
And I'm a' chewin' on a honeysuckle vine |
|
Yes and now you heard my strange proposal |
|
So get that Packard up and let's move |
|
I wanna be there before the day |
|
Tries to steal away and leave us behind |
|
I've made up my mind |
|
Chorus: |
|
And I wanna be there |
|
I wanna go back down and die beside the sea there |
|
With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine |
|
And I'm a' chewin' on a honeysuckle vine |
|
Coda: |
|
Yeah with a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine |
|
And I'm a' chewin' on a honeysuckle vine |
|
Again... To Miss Jane |
