Текст (слова) песни: Jimmy Buffett - The Wino And I Know
By: Jimmy Buffett 1974 The ice cream man he`s a hillbilly fan Got seventy-eights by Hank Snow Walks down the street, shufflin` his feet To a rhythm that only he knows
And I`ve seen him in so many places I saw him the night I was born In a Bourbon Street bar, I received my first scar From an old man so tattered and torn
Chorus: And the wino and I know the pain of street singin` Like a door-to-door salesman knows the pains of bell ringin` Strange situation, wild occupation Livin` my life like a song
Coffee is strong at the Cafe Du Monde Donuts are too hot to touch Just like a fool, when those sweet goodies cool I eat `til I eat way too much
`Cause I`m livin` on things that excite me Be they pastry or lobster or love I`m just tryin` to get by bein` quiet and shy In a world full of pushin` and shove
Chorus: And the wino and I know the pain of back bustin` Like the farmer knows the pain of his pickup truck rustin` Strange situation, wild occupation Livin` my life like a song
Sweet senorita won`t you please come with me Back to the island honey, back to the sea Back to the only place that I want to be
Chorus: And the wino and I know the joy of the ocean Like a boy knows the joy of his milkshake in motion Strange situation, wild occupation Livin` my life like a song Yes it`s a strange situation, a wild occupation Livin` my life like a song
