	Lyrics：Jimmy Buffett Music：Jimmy Buffett
	Disembarking at Duvalier Airport
	Seeking transportation to town
	As the purple ink dried on his passport
	He could still feel the eyes look around
	'Messieur ou y est casino?' [ Do you know where the casino is Sir? ]
	Spoke to the cabbie and smiled
	Driver replied 'Vieux ou noveaux.' [ Old or new? ]
	As he motioned the dark man inside
	Business in Aruba concluded
	He now had a little money to spend
	That's how I came to meet my African friend
	We were rolling the bones several hours
	Conversing as most gamblers do
	We were calling on all of our powers
	Hopin' to see the night through
	But not approving at all of our winnings
	Pit boss he tugged at his sleeve
	Through the whole thing my new friend was grinning
	When he motioned it's time we should leave
	With our night at the tables behind us
	We were ready just to do it again
	That's when I came to know my African friend
	But I woke up on the steps of a whorehouse
	Soldier told me I'd better leave
	As I stumbled to find me a taxi
	I saw a note pinned to my sleeve
	'It was a pleasure and a hell of an evenin'
	Truly was our night to win.
	But the authorities insist on my leaving
	Take care my American friend.'
	With my weekend at Haiti concluded
	I now had a little money to spend
	That's when I came to meet my African friend
	That's how I came to know another good friend
