I want to go back, to the islands Where the shrimp boats are tied up to the piling Give me oysters and beer For dinner every day of the year And I'll feel fine......I'll feel fine
Chorus I want to be there 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 honeysuckle vine
Yeah now the sun goes sliding across the water Sail boats they go searching for the breeze Salt air it ain't thin It can stick right to your skin, and make you feel fine Makes you feel fine
chorus I wanna be there Wanna go back down and and get high by the sea there With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine And I'm a chewin' on a honeysuckle vine
Yes and now you heard my strange proposal So get that Packard up and let's move I wanna be there before the day Tries to steal away and leave us behind I've made up my mind
chorus And I wanna be there I wanna go back down and die 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 honeysuckle vine Yeah with a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with red wine And I'm a chewin' on a honeysuckle vine
