歌曲 | Cuban Crime of Passion |
歌手 | Jimmy Buffett |
专辑 | A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean |
作词 : Buffett, Corcoran | |
Written:Jimmy Buffett/Tom Corcoran | |
Billy Voltaire was a piano player up from Miami way | |
He used to play in the bars, he could sound like the stars | |
The ladies would pay and pay | |
Then one night he did wind up playin' in Havana town | |
And nobody knew, least Billy Voltaire that these were his final sounds. | |
'Cause he met up with Meritta, a dancer in from the Coast | |
Half woman, half child, she drove him half wild | |
He loved that lady the most | |
'Til one night he did find her in the arms of Shrimper Dan | |
So he pulled a knife, took poor Danny's life | |
And then he turned his own cold hand. | |
(Chorus) | |
And it's just a Cuban crime of passion | |
Messy and old fashioned | |
Yeah, that's what the papers did say | |
It's just a Cuban crime of passion | |
Anejo and knives a slashin' | |
But that's what the people like to read about | |
Up in America, up in America. | |
Well, they never found Meritta, some people say she got ill | |
And Billy Voltaire had no one to clain min, he eas buried on pauper's hill | |
And no one talks about 'em no more, it happened just a week ago | |
But people get by and people get high | |
In the tropics they come and they go. | |
(Repeat chorus) |
