Captain Jim's Drunken Dream (2019 Remaster) - James Taylor

Producer：Lenny Waronker/Russ Titleman

Now you country fools in your one horse town you can laugh at me

It's plain as rain that you've never been down to the southern sea

To see me now is like watching a fish on dry land

I only wish you could see me down in the islands

Mister that's my home

What a fool I was to leave the only happiness I've known

You see me coming you wink your eye and call me captain Jim

And when I don't do nothin' but walk on

By you say baby get a load of him

All I need is the sea and the sky and I know where I stand

Instead of you hicks straight out of the sticks deciding I ain't a man

You'll never understand

Up here I'm just a whisky bum but down there I'm a king

Sounds just like the angels up in heaven

When they sing

Welcome home welcome home

Such a sight to see

Instead of some Salvation Army sister

Singing nearer my god to thee

Now I know that Yankee whisky has taken away my mind

And I know that rum is the only drink suitable to mankind

And I know this tree I'm under is shaped entirely wrong

I need to see a gentle palm tree and I won't wait too long

I can feel that it's coming on strong

The first cold wind of winter is flapping in my clothes

Showing me the way with the direction that it blows

Welcome home welcome home

Let it blow

Welcome home welcome home

Welcome home

Such a sight to see

Instead of some Salvation Army sister

Singing nearer my god to thee

Let me hear it

Coming

Welcome home welcome home

Welcome home

Welcome home
