Bimini The Kingston Trio
[D7]Oh, 'til I go down to Bimini,
[G]never get a lickin' 'til I [D7]go down to Bimin[G]i.
Verse 1
[G]We were all sailors [C]'til the day
[D7]our boat put in to [G]Bimini Bay.
[G]We tapped a keg. We [C]loaded on.
[D7]Woke up to find the [G]boat was gone!
Chorus:
[G]Send my bail down to Bimini.
This town is [D7]wearisome.
Got thrown in jail just for drinkin'
Barbados [G]rum, [D7]Barbados [G]rum
[D7]Oh, 'til I go down to Bimini,
[G]never get a lickin 'til I [D7]go down to Bimin[G]i.
Verse 2
[G]I recollect the [C]other night,
[D7]seems like there was a [G]friendly fight.
[G]It was a woman [C]brought me grief.
[D7]Her mother was the [G]police chief!
Chorus:
[G]Send my bail down to Bimini.
This town is [D7]wearisome.
Got thrown in jail just for drinkin'
Barbados [G]rum, [D7]Barbados [G]rum
[D7]Oh, 'til I go down to Bimini,
[G]never get a lickin 'til I [D7]go down to Bimin[G]i.
Verse 3
[G]I told them I would [C]mend my ways.
[D7]They let me out in [G]thirty days.
[G]One little sip to [C]quench my thirst,
[D7]I should have read the [G]label first!
Chorus:
[G]Send my bail down to Bimini.
This town is [D7]wearisome.
Got thrown in jail just for drinkin'
Barbados [G]rum, [D7]Barbados [G]rum
[D7]Oh, 'til I go down to Bimini,
[G]never get a lickin 'til I [D7]go down to Bimin[G]i.
Verse 4
[G]They say that Bimini [C]can't afford
[D7]to keep providing [G]room and board.
[G]I'm anchored here by [C]ball and chain,
[D7]squeezin' the rum from [G]sugar cane.
Chorus:
[G]Send my bail down to Bimini.
This town is [D7]wearisome.
Got thrown in jail just for drinkin'
Barbados [G]rum, [D7]Barbados [G]rum
[D7]Oh, 'til I go down to Bimini,
[G]never get a lickin 'til I [D7]go down to Bimin[G]i.
