Going Back to Okinawa

Ry Cooder

ディキシー×チャンプルー [Verse 1] Goin' back down to Okinawa Sorry, baby, but I can't take you You better stay at home in California There's nothing over there that you can do Goin' back down to Okinawa Ain't gonna do me like you've done before They treat me like a king down in Okinawa And I ain't never comin' back no more [Verse 2] It's just an island floating in the sun Everybody's having so much fun Pretty mamas laying in the sand Sure do know how to treat your man Okinawian baby, won't you come by me? Sun going down in the China Sea Making love on the beach all night Okinawa moon is shining so bright [Verse 3] Folks in Okinawa sure have fun They get together when the working day's done Drinking cheap wine and making romance While some old man's doing the Okina dance Back in the days of World War II Fought against the Japanese like me and you Everybody's worried ‘bout a World War III Okinawa's just the place that I'm gonna be [Outro] Going back to Okinawa Sorry, but I can't take you Never coming back no more, baby https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoZEZ3AqF7k
