Viperpirate Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 I never use to miss the chance to climb upon his knee and listen to the many tales of life upon the sea. We'd go sailing back on barkentines and talk of things he did, tomorrow just a day away for the Captain and the Kid. His world had gone from sailing ships to raking mom's back yard; he never could adjust to land although he tried so hard. We both were growing older then and wiser with our years; that's when I came to understand the course his heart still steers. He died about a month ago while winter filled the air, and though I cried, I was so proud to love a man so rare. He's somewhere on the ocean now, the place he ought to be; with one hand on the starboard rail, he's waving back at me. For the Captain and this kid IA ORA TE NATURA E MEA AROFA TEIE AO NEI IA ORA TE NATURA E MEA AROFA TEIE AO NEI Nature lives (life to nature) Have pity for the Earth (Love the Earth) I know I don't get there often enough But God knows I surely try It's a magic kind of medicine That no doctor could prescribe I used to rule my world from a pay phone And ships out on the sea But now times are rough And I got too much stuff Can't explain the likes of me Chorus: But there's this one particular harbour So far but yet so near Where I see the days as they fade away And finally disappear But now I think about the good times Down in the Caribbean sunshine In my younger days I was so bad Laughin' about all the fun we had I've seen enough to feel the world spin Mixin' different oceans meetin' cousins Listen to the drummers and the night sounds Listen to the singers make the world go 'round IA ORA TE NATURA E MEA AROFA TEIE AO NEI IA ORA TE NATURA E MEA AROFA TEIE AO NEI Lakes below the mountains Fow into the sea Like oils applied to canvas They permeate through me And there's that one particular harbour Sheltered from the wind Where the children play on the shore each day And all are safe within Most mysterious calling harbour So far but yet so near I can see the day when my hair's full gray And I finally disappear IA ORA TE NATURA E MEA AROFA TEIE AO NEI IA ORA TE NATURA E MEA AROFA TEIE AO NEI UA PAU TE MAITAI NO TE FENUA RE ZAI NOA RA TE ORA O TE MITIE Bounty of the land is exhausted But there's still abundance on the sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Honestly, I was never a big JB fan. However, after 13 days in Key West (at the PiP festival), I definitely understand what he is singing about now. And I actually love playing the song Mother Mother Ocean. I got to play it with our band, as well as several other musicians in Key West. It is a fun, pretty song to play. Sir Nigel - aka "Sir Freelancealot"; aka "Ace of Cads"; aka "JACKPOT!!" (cha-CHING!)

Serendipity Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Jimmy Buffet ( all hail the Buffet) is the man who made me loose all ambition and move down to Florida. I seriously changed my life goals after listening to the new Jimmy Buffet (all hail the Buffet) compilation CD. "Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind That our forefathers harnessed before us Hear the bells ring as the tight rigging sings It’s a son of a gun of a chorus." Quality stuff.

hurricane Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 I've been a fan since I first learned to play Pirate Looks at 40 oh, so many years ago. Got to see him down at Margaritaville at PiP - now that was a treat. I think a lot of people just don't get the music until they go down to the Keys and the south in general - it's a different pace of life there and the outlook on life is different.

Serendipity Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 ya hail from orlando, eh? was hatched right down the road from ya...apopka! That's cool! I just moved to Florida last June, I was born and raised in Manhattan, then I started listening to Jimmy Buffett and just had to "go where the weather suits my clothes,". It was also around the time I really started getting into pirates so I had to make sure I never missed another November in Key West. So I packed up and moved down here. speaking of...you going serendipity??? Sadly, no. I can't get away from work for Gasparilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Morgan Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 I have to admit that I like Jimmy Buffett very much, but have been a fan "in passing" so to speak... i.e. I'll turn up the radio if "Margaritaville" "Cheeseburger in Paradise" "Let's Get Drunk and..." or "Son of a Sailor" comes on, but I don't own any CD's or tapes of his... after reading the above lyrics, I see that's a serious mistake on my part... could someone help me and tell me which songs those lyrics come from? Or which CD I should buy to REALLY experience Jimmy Buffett? Thanks all!!

Cap't Arly Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 I have been a Buffett fan for many years (many more than I care to admit). I even got myself a 'Mother, Mother Ocean" tee-shirt with lyrics front and back. When I travel by car I listen almost exclusively to his CD's. It all seemed fitting after sailing the oceans for several years. The drunken port calls, white beaches, palm & coconut trees, wenches, all brought out the pirate residing in me.
