	Seeking transpor	tation to	town

As the	purple ink	dried on his	passport

He could	still feel the	eyes look a	round

"Monsieur ou est le casino"

He spoke to the cabbie and smiled

Driver replied "vieux ou nouveau"

As he motioned the dark man inside

That's	how I came to	meet my African	friend

We were rolling the bones several hours

Conversing as most gamblers do

We were calling on all of our powers

Hoping to see the night through

But not approving at all of our winning,

Pit boss he tugged at his sleeve

Through the whole thing my new friend was grinning

When he motioned it's time we should leave

With our night at the tables behind us

We were ready just to do it again

That's when I came to know my African friend

INSTRUMENTAL

But I woke up on the steps of a whorehouse

Soldier told me I better leave

As I stumbled to find me a taxi

I saw a note pinned to my sleeve

It was a pleasure and a hell of an evening

Truly was our night to win

But the authorities insist on my leaving

Take care, my American friend

With my weekend in Haiti concluded

I now had a little money to spend

That's how I came know my African Friend
