African Friend

African Friend - Jimmy Buffett[00:00:00]

Written by:Jimmy Buffett[00:00:00]

Disembarking at duvalier airport[00:00:23]

Seeking transportation to town[00:00:29]

As the purple ink dried on his passport[00:00:33]

He could still feel the eyes look around[00:00:38]

Messieur ou y est casino[00:00:44]

Spoke to the cabbie and smiled[00:00:49]

Driver replied vieux ou noveaux[00:00:54]

As he motioned the dark man inside[00:00:59]

Business in aruba concluded[00:01:04]

He now had a little money to spend[00:01:09]

That's how I came to meet my african friend[00:01:14]

We were rolling the bones several hours[00:01:24]

Conversing as most gamblers do[00:01:29]

We were calling on all of our powers[00:01:34]

Hopin' to see the night through[00:01:40]

But not approving at all of our winnings[00:01:44]

Pit boss he tugged at his sleeve[00:01:50]

Through the whole thing my new friend was grinning[00:01:55]

When he motioned it's time we should leave[00:02:00]

With our night at the tables behind us[00:02:05]

We were ready just to do it again[00:02:10]

That's when I came to know my african friend[00:02:15]

But I woke up on the steps of a whorehouse[00:02:45]

Soldier told me I'd better leave[00:02:51]

As I stumbled to find me a taxi[00:02:55]

I saw a note pinned to my sleeve[00:03:01]

It was a pleasure and a hell of an evenin'[00:03:05]

Truly was our night to win[00:03:11]

But the authorities insist on my leaving[00:03:16]

Take care my american friend[00:03:21]

With my weekend at haiti concluded[00:03:26]

I now had a little money to spend[00:03:31]

That's when I came to meet my african friend[00:03:36]

That's how I came to know another good friend[00:03:46]
