Son of a Son of a Sailor Lyrics


Son of a Son of a Sailor
  • Buffett wrote this about his grandfather, James Delaney Buffett, who was a huge influence on his life. Buffett's grandfather was a sailor born in the town of Rose Blanche in Newfoundland, Canada, later moving to Glace Bay in Nova Scotia and eventually settling in Mobile, Alabama.
  • This was the only song Jimmy Buffett performed in his only appearance on Saturday Night Live. He had to do it sitting down with his leg propped up in a cast after breaking it in a motorcycle accident earlier that week.

  • Buffett: "I had my sights set on Tahiti a long time ago and connived my way there through my good friend Tom Moffatt in Hawaii. We went there to play a show to an unknown audience, but that didn't matter. I had still made it to Tahiti. At the airport we were met by an old expatriated American named Hugh Kelly who had run away from home a long time ago. We became instant friends, and he took me to his home on Moorea in the mountains above Cook's Bay. When I looked down at the vista, the song came out as if it had been sitting inside me waiting for the moment." (thanks, Ken - LaSalle, Canada)

  • Buffett: "I borrowed this line from a letter Sir Walter Raleigh wrote to the Queen Of England begging forgiveness for some piratical activity. It sounded more like the title of a Motown tune, and I couldn't pass it up. I hope Sir Walter didn't turn over in his grave." (thanks, Ken - LaSalle, Canada)

  • Jimmy: "This song was written as a piece of total satire when I did my first album in Nashville. I was hearing a lot of suggestive country songs - in particular, Conway Twitty's "Lets Go All The Way." I figured I would write a song that would leave no doubt in anybody's mind. I thought back to a late-night in an Atlanta diner where I was eating and watched this out-of-focus business man trying to pick up a hooker. That's all the inspiration I needed." (thanks, Ken - LaSalle, Canada)
  • Jimmy wrote this song, but he used the name Marvin Gardens as a alias. (thanks, Dave - Pomeroy, OH)

  • Mike Nesmith, who was a member of The Monkee's, once told Buffett about a man he ran into down in Baja who is the unknown inspiration for this song. During the Baja race, Mike broke down in the middle of nowhere and went to a small village to wait for his repair team. He ran into an American - a fisherman who lived in a small hut with what he called "the essentials." He had a collection of Buffett's albums, packaged margarita mix from America, an old Waring blender, and a tape recorder hooked up to a peculiar power system made out of a Honda generator and a Sears Die Hard battery. It seems he would fish all week, and on Friday night, he and his friends would hook up the blender and tape player and make margaritas while they sang along to Buffett's songs. This ceremony would last until the gas for the generator dried up. Buffett got the inspiration to write this while he was in Isla Mujeres, a small island near Cancun, where life had escaped most of the twentieth century. The tough part was rhyming "Die Hard," but, with a few inspiring margaritas, the word came. This is one of his favorite songs. (thanks, Ken - LaSalle, Canada)
