Lyric Tin Cup Chalice

By: Jimmy Buffett
1974
I wanna back to the island
Where the shrimp boats tie up to the pilin
Gimme oysters and beer
For dinner every day of the year and I ll feel fine
I ll feel fine

Chorus:
I wanna be there
Wanna 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 slidin cross the water
Sailboats they go searchin 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 a 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

Coda:
Yeah with a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine
And I m a chewin on a honeysuckle vine

Again... To Miss Jane
