Lyrics Of Jamaica Mistaica
by Jimmy Buffett

Some folks say that I've got the perfect life.

Three swell kids, lots of toys and a lovely wife.

I fly. I sail. I throw caution to the wind.

Drift like a stratus cloud above the Caribbean.

But every now and then

The dragons come to call.

Just when you least expect it you'll be dodging cannon balls.

I've seen to much not to stay in touch with a world full of love and luck.

I've got a big suspicion 'bout ammunition.

I never forget to duck.

Come back

Come back

Back to Jamaica

Don't you know we made a big mistaica

We'd be so sad if you told us goodbye

And we promise not to shoot you out of the sky

It was a beautiful day

The kind you want to toast

We were treetop flyin'

Movin' west along the coast

Then we landed in the water

Just about my favorite thrill

When some ass*** started firin'

When we taxied to Negril

Just about to lose my temper

As I endeavored to explain

We had only come for chicken

We were not a ganja plane

Well you should have seen there faces

When they finally realized

We were not some coked up cowboys

Sportin' guns and alibis

Come back

Come back

Back to Jamaica

Don't you know we made a big mistaica

We'd be so sad if you told us goodbye

And we promise not to shoot you out of the sky

They shot from the lighthouse

They shot from the highway

They shot from the top of the cliff

They'd all gone haywire

We're catchin' fire

And there wasn't even a spliff

Well the word got out

All over the island

Friends, strangers, they were all apologizin'

Some thought me crazy for bein' way to nice

But it's just another shitty day in paradise

Come back

Come back

Back to Jamaica

Don't you know we made a big mistaica

We'd be so sad if you told us goodbye

And we promise not to shoot you out of the sky

Come back

Come back

Back to Jamaica

Don't you know we made a big mistaica

We'd be so sad if you told us goodbye

And we promise not to shoot you, promise not to shoot you,

Promise not to shoot you out of the sky

Jamaica Farewell Song

Down the way where the nights are gay

And the sun shines daily on the mountain top

I took a trip on a sailing ship

But when I reached Jamaica I made her stop

Now I'm sad to say

I'm on my way (on my way)

I won't be back for many a day

My heart is down

My head is turning around

I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Sounds of laughter everywhere

And the dancing girls sway to and fro

I must declare my heart is there

Though I have been from Maine to Mexico

Still I'm sad to say

I'm on my way (on my way)

I won't be back for many a day

My heart is down

My head is turning around

I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Down at the market you can hear

Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear

Ackev rice, salt fish are nice

Oh the rum is fine anytime of year

Now I'm sad to say

I'm on my way (on my way)

I won't be back for many a day

My heart is down

My head is turning around

I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Down the way where the nights are gay

And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop

I took a trip on a sailing ship

But when I reached Jamaica I made her stop

Now I'm sad to say

I'm on my way (on my way)

I won't be back for many a day

My heart is down

My head is turning around

I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
