Barbados Rum

Barbados Rum

<Send my bail down to Bimini, this town is wearisome

Got thrown in jail for drinking Barbados rum, Barbados rum>

We were sailors till the day, our boat sailed into Bimini Bay

We tapped the keg, we loaded up. Woke up to find the boat was gone

<...>

I recollect the other night, it seemed there was a friendly fight

There was a woman that bought me a drink, her daddy was the police chief

<...>

I tell them I will mend my ways, they let me out in 30 days

I had a little drink to quench my thirst, I guess I should have read the label first!

<...>

They tell me that Bimini can’t afford – to keep providin’ room and board.

I’m anchored here by ball and chain – squeezin’ rum from sugar-cane.
