[00:00:00] African Friend - Jimmy Buffett

[00:00:00] Written by：Jimmy Buffett

[00:00:23] Disembarking at duvalier airport

[00:00:29] Seeking transportation to town

[00:00:33] As the purple ink dried on his passport

[00:00:38] He could still feel the eyes look around

[00:00:44] Messieur ou y est casino

[00:00:49] Spoke to the cabbie and smiled

[00:00:54] Driver replied vieux ou noveaux

[00:00:59] As he motioned the dark man inside

[00:01:04] Business in aruba concluded

[00:01:09] He now had a little money to spend

[00:01:14] That's how I came to meet my african friend

[00:01:24] We were rolling the bones several hours

[00:01:29] Conversing as most gamblers do

[00:01:34] We were calling on all of our powers

[00:01:40] Hopin' to see the night through

[00:01:44] But not approving at all of our winnings

[00:01:50] Pit boss he tugged at his sleeve

[00:01:55] Through the whole thing my new friend was grinning

[00:02:00] When he motioned it's time we should leave

[00:02:05] With our night at the tables behind us

[00:02:10] We were ready just to do it again

[00:02:15] That's when I came to know my african friend

[00:02:45] But I woke up on the steps of a whorehouse

[00:02:51] Soldier told me I'd better leave

[00:02:55] As I stumbled to find me a taxi

[00:03:01] I saw a note pinned to my sleeve

[00:03:05] It was a pleasure and a hell of an evenin'

[00:03:11] Truly was our night to win

[00:03:16] But the authorities insist on my leaving

[00:03:21] Take care my american friend

[00:03:26] With my weekend at haiti concluded

[00:03:31] I now had a little money to spend

[00:03:36] That's when I came to meet my african friend

[00:03:46] That's how I came to know another good friend
