The Wino & I Know Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

The ice cream man he's a hillbilly fan, 

He's got seventy-eights by Hank Snow, 

Walks down the street, shufflin' his feet, 

To the rhythm that only he knows. 

And I've seen him in so many places, 

I saw him the night I was born, 

In a Bourbon Street bar I received my first scar 

From an old man so tattered and torn. 

And the Wino and I know the pains of street singin' 

Like the door-to-door salesman knows 

The pains of bell ringin' 

It's a strange situation, 

A wild occupation, 

Living my life like a song.

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Well the coffee is strong 

At the Cafe do Monde, 

And the donuts are too hot to touch, 

But just like a fool, when those 

Sweet goodies cool, I ate 'til I ate way too much. 

Cause I'm livin' on things that excite me, 

Be they pastries or lobsters or love, 

I'm just tryin' to get by being quiet and shy, 

In a world full of pushin' and shove. 

And the Wino and I know the pains of backbustin', 

Like the farmer knows the pain of his pick-up 

Truck rustin'. 

It's a strange situation, a wild occupation, 

Living my life like a song. 

Sweet Senorita, won't you please come with me? 

Back to the island, honey, back to the sea, 

Back to the only place that I want to be.

And the Wino and I know the joys of the ocean, 

Like a boy knows the joys of his milkshake 

In motion. 

It's a strange situation, a wild occupation, 

Living my life like a song.
