[Intro]
[Verse]
I want to go back to the island,
where the shrimp boats tie up to the pilin .
Give me oysters and beer
for dinner every day of the year and I ll feel fine.
I ll feel fine.
[Chorus]
Cause I want to be there,
I want to go back down and lie beside the sea there.
With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine,
and I m a chewin , on a honey-suckle vine.
2. [Verse]
Yeah, now, the sun goes slidin cross the water;
Sailboats, they go searchin for the breeze.
Salt air it ain t thin, I can stick right to you skin,
and make you feel fine. It makes you feel fine.
(repeat chorus)
3. [Verse]
Yes, and now you heard my strange proposal;
Get that pack gear up and let s move.
I want to be there fore the day, tries to steal away
and leave us behind. I ve made up my mind.
(repeat chorus and fade)
