Bimini

(album: Sold Out - 1960)

Oh, till I go down to Bimini, never get a licking till I go down to Bimini

We were all sailors till the day our boat pulled in to Bimini Bay
We tapped a keg. We loaded on. Woke up to find the boat was gone

Send my bail down to Bimini
This town is wearisome
Got thrown in jail just for drinking Barbego rum, Barbego rum

Oh, till I go down to Bimini, never get a licking till I go down to Bimini

I recollect the other night, seems like there was a friendly fight
It was a woman brought me grief. Her mother was the police chief

Send my bail down to Bimini
This town is wearisome
Got thrown in jail just for drinking Barbego rum, Barbego rum

I told them I would mend my ways
They let me out in thirty days
One little sip to quench my thirst, I should have read the label first

Send my bail down to Bimini
This town is wearisome
Got thrown in jail just for drinking Barbego rum, Barbego rum

Oh, till I go down to Bimini, never get a licking till I go down to Bimini

They say that Bimini can't afford to keep providing room and board
I'm anchored here by ball and chain, squeezing the rum from sugar cane

Send my bail down to Bimini
This town is wearisome
Got thrown in jail just for drinking Barbego rum, Barbego rum

Oh, till I go down to Bimini, never get a licking till I go down to Bimini
Oh, till I go down to Bimini, never get a licking till I go down to Bimini
