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]
