Chickahominy

I threw away my necktie ripped the sleeves from my shirt
And buried my bare feet in the soft black dirt
Made a getaway raft of styrofoam and vine
Sailed past Norfolk Virginia with this great big jug of wine

Tell that girl don't wait for me
On the banks of the Chickahominy
That big river
Banks of the Chickahominy

I must admit she was easy on the eyes
Oh yeah
But she worked for the FBI
And I could never be decriminalized
And daddy was a judge on the Virginia circuit
He knew me all to well - that debutante could work it
She tried to make me a southern lawyer
Go back to school and pass the bar
But I could. not pay attention because I got this here guitar

Tell that girl don't wait for me
On the banks of the Chickahominy
That's for certain
Banks of the Chickahominy

Down in South America it never gets cold
They got a lot of fine women me no hablo Espanol
Tell that girl don't wait for me
On the banks of the Chickahominy
That's for certain
Banks of the Chickahominy
It ain't impertant
Banks of the Chickahominy
