"The Wino and I Know" "Ice cream man, he's a hillbilly fan Got seventy-eights by Hank Snow Walks through the street of the city so neat City that only he knows And I've seen him in so many places Saw him the night I was born In a Bourbon Street Bar, I received my first scar From an old man so tattered and torn And the wino and I know the pain of street singin' Like a door-to-door salesman knows the pains of bell ringin' It's a strange situation, a wild occupation Just livin' my life like a song, that could be a song, right Coffee is strong at the Cafe Du Monde The donuts are too hot to touch Just like a fool, when those sweet goodies cool I eat 'til I eat way too much 'Cause I'm livin' on things that excite me Be they pastries, lobsters or love, thank you for yours, brother I'm just tryin' to get by bein' quiet and shy In a world full of pushin' and shove That's why, the wino and I know the pain of back bustin' Like the farmer knows the pain of his pickup truck rustin' It's a strange situation, wild occupation Just livin' my life like a song Sweet senorita, won't you please come with me? Back to the island, honey, back to the sea Back to the only place that I want to be And the wino and I know the joy of the ocean Like a boy knows the joy of his milkshake in motion It's a strange situation, wild occupation Just livin' my life like a song Say it's a strange situation, a wild occupation Just livin' my life like my song..." Jimmy Buffett, February, 1974 RIP, Jimmy, you lived your life like a song, and I'll see you on the other side in Margaritaville!!!

like I too liked his voice... A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. George Bernard Shaw Jenny
