Funeral Dance

Funeral Dance - Jimmy Buffett

Written by：Jimmy Buffett

In Amerigo

Carnival was as hallowed as Christmas itself

Perhaps slightly more so

There was a meaning to it

See islanders did not put into words

Yet which made it the authentic supreme day in the kinjian calendar

Africa was marching down the main street of this little harbor town today

Africa in undimmed black vitality

Surging up out of centuries of island

Displacement island slavery

Island isolation island ignorance

Africa unquenchable in its burning love of life

Carnival was unquenchable in Amerigo
