Captain Jim(bo)'s Drunken Dream

[bearmark]

I enjoy listening to James Taylor and ran across this song the other day while sampling In the Pocket from 1976. The song is "Captain Jim's Drunken Dream" and here are some notable lyrics:

To see me now is like watching a fish on dry land. I only wish you could see me down in the islands.

Up here I'm just a whiskey bum, but down there I'm a king.

Now, I know that the Yankee whiskey has taken away my mind, and I know that rum is the only drink suitable to mankind.

This message brought to you for your pure, unaldulterated rum entertainment and pleasure (and clearly marked that way)... and now back to our irregular and unscheduled programming.

Yo ho, Mate!

You can listen to the song on YouTube.
