By: jimmy buffett<br>1974<br>I wanna back to the island<br>Where the shrimp boats tie up to the pilin'<br>Gimme oysters and beer<br>For dinner every day of the year and I'll feel fine<br>I'll feel fine<br><br>Chorus:<br>I wanna be there<br>Wanna go back down and lie beside the sea there<br>With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine<br>And I'm a' chewin' on a honeysuckle vine<br><br>Yeah now, the sun goes slidin' 'cross the water<br>Sailboats they go searchin' for the breeze<br>Salt air it ain't thin<br>It can stick right to your skin and make you feel fine<br>Makes you feel fine<br><br>Chorus:<br>I wanna be there<br>Wanna go back down and a' get high by the sea there<br>With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine<br>And I'm a' chewin' on a honeysuckle vine<br><br>Yes and now you heard my strange proposal<br>So get that packard up and let's move<br>I wanna be there before the day<br>Tries to steal away and leave us behind<br>I've made up my mind<br><br>Chorus:<br>And I wanna be there<br>I wanna go back down and die beside the sea there<br>With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine<br>And I'm a' chewin' on a honeysuckle vine<br><br>Coda:<br>Yeah with a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine<br>And I'm a' chewin' on a honeysuckle vine<br><br>Again... to miss jane
