The Kingston Trio
Lyrics for Song: Bimini
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - The Kingston Trio
B. Olofson/M. McIntyre
Oh, 'til I go down to Bimini, never get a lickin' 'til I go down to Bimini.
We were all sailors 'til the day our boat pulled in to Bimini Bay.
We tapped a keg. We loaded on. Woke up to find the boat was gone!
Chorus:
Send my bail down to Bimini.
This town is wearisome. Got thrown in jail just for
drinkin' Barbados rum, Barbados rum
Oh, 'til I go down to Bimini, never get a lickin 'til I go down to Bimini.,
I recollect the other night, seems like there was a friendly fight.
It was a woman brought me grief. Her mother was the police chief!
(Chorus)
I told them I would mend my ways. They let me out in thirty days.
One little sip to quench my thirst, I should have read the label first!
(Chorus)
Oh, 'til I go down to Bimini, never get a lickin' 'til I go down to Bimini.
They say that Bimini can't afford to keep providing room and board.
I'm anchored here by ball and chain, squeezin' the rum from sugar cane.
(Chorus)
Oh, 'til I go down to Bimini,
never get a lickin' 'til I go down to Bimini. (Repeat and fade)

Bimini
Bimini stands as a vibrant example of The Kingston Trio's mastery of folk and island-inspired rhythms. The group, renowned for harmonizing traditional material with original compositions, often explored themes of travel and maritime life in their recordings. This track captures the breezy, carefree spirit associated with the Bahamas, fitting seamlessly into their broader catalogue of upbeat, narrative-driven songs. The Kingston Trio helped define the American folk revival of the 1950s and 60s, bringing diverse global sounds to mainstream audiences through tight vocal arrangements and acoustic instrumentation. While specific album placements for this recording may vary across different compilations, the song remains a testament to the band's ability to evoke a sense of place and movement. It reflects their enduring influence on the genre, showcasing how they transformed simple melodies into memorable, culturally resonant works that continue to resonate with listeners today. |
