Jimmy Buffett - Cuban Crime of Passion

"Well now, Billy Voltaire was a piano player

Up from Miami way.

He used to play in the bars,

He could sound like the stars.

The ladies would pay and pay.

One night he did wind up

Playing in Havana town.

Nobody knew, least Billy Voltaire,

That these were his final sounds.

He met up with Marita,

A dancer in from the coast.

Half woman, half child,

She drove him half wild.

He loved that lady the most.

One night he did find her

In the arms of Shrimper Dan

So he pulled out a knife,

Took poor Danny's life,

And then he turned his own cold hand.

It's just a Cuban crime of passion,

Messy and old fashioned:

Yes that's what the papers did say.

It's just a Cuban crime of passion,

Anejo and knives a-slashin':

Yeah but that's what the people like to read about

Up in America...

Well now, they never found Marita

Some people say she got ill.

Billy Voltaire had no one to claim him,

He was buried on Paupers' Hill.

And no one talks about him no more.

It happened just a week ago.

But people get by

And people get high:

In the tropics, they come and they go.

Bizarrely one of their best songs AFAIC, but consigned to being a b-side. In fact quite a few of their b-sides are twice as good as anything on their second album. Even if they aren't your cup of tea, this and

are worth a listen anyway. Shame the second album was awful compared to the first.
