Lyrics for Captain Jims Drunken Dream by James Taylor:
| | | Artist: | James Taylor |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Captain Jims Drunken Dream | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 64 | | | | Lyrics: | Well you country fools in your one horse town you can laugh at me
But it's plain as rain that
you've never been down to the southern sea
To see me now is like watching a fish on dry
land
I only wish you could see me down in the islands
Mister, that's my home.
What a
fool i was to leave the only happiness i've known
You see me coming, you wink your eye and
call me captain jim
And when i don't do nothin' but walk on by you say baby get a load of
him
All i need is the sea and the sky and i know where i stand
Instead of you hicks
straight out of the sticks deciding i ain't a man
You'll never understand
Up here i'm a
whisky bum but down there i'm a king
Sounds just like the angels up in
heaven
When they sing
Welcome home, welcome home
Such a sight to see
Instead of some
salvation army sister
Singing "nearer my god to thee"
Now i know that yankee whisky has
taken away my mind
And i know that rum is the only drink suitable to mankind
And i know this
tree i'm under is shaped entirely wrong
I need to see a gentle palm tree and i won't wait to
long
I can feel that it's coming on strong
The first cold wind of winter is flapping in
my clothes
Showing me the way with the direction that it blows
Welcome home, welcome home | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
