Bimini
Words & Music: B. Olofson/M. McIntyre
(Recorded by POLES APART on The
Song Goes On)
Ohhh … ‘til I go down to Bimini – never take to liquor ‘til I go down to Bimini!
We were all sailors ‘til the day – our
boat sailed in to Bimini Bay,
We tapped a keg – we loaded on – woke up to find the boat was
gone!
Chorus:
Send my bail down to Bimini. This town is wearisome,
Got thrown in jail just for drinkin’ – Barbados rum – Barbados
rum.
Ohhh … ‘til I go down to Bimini – never take to liquor ‘til I
go down to Bimini!
I recollect the other night - it seems there was friendly
fight.
It was a woman who brought me to grief – her Daddy was the
Police Chief!
I told them I would mend my ways – they let me out in thirty
days.
I took a little drink to quench my thirst – guess I should-a
read the label first.
They tell me that Bimini can’t afford – to keep providin’
room and board.
I’m anchored here by ball and chain – squeezin’ rum from
sugar-cane.
