Jimmy Buffett - Tin Cup Chalice Lyrics
I want to go back to the island,
Where the shrimp boats tie up to the pilin'.
Give me oysters and beer for dinner every day of the year,
And I'll feel fine, I'll feel fine.
'Cause I want to be there,
I want to go back down and lie beside the sea there.
With a tin cup for a chalice
Fill it up with good red wine,
And I'm-a chewin' on a honeysuckle vine.
Yeah, now the sun goes slidin' 'cross the water;
Sailboats, they go searchin' for the breeze.
Salt air it ain't thin,
It can stick right to your skin,
It makes you feel fine.
[Chorus]
Yes, and now you heard my strange proposal;
Get that Packard up and let's move.
I want to be there before the day
Tries to steal away and leave us behind;
I've made up my mind;
[Chorus]

Jimmy Buffett Tin Cup Chalice Comments
Been listening to jimmy buffet for 13 years (I’m currently 13 years old so my whole life) and it never gets old. This is definitely my favorite jimmy buffet song.
We were gyspies in the place for real and going back by the sea there was our P. I. T. S. AWWW The stories we could tell 💕❣️
With Dorian breathing down our necks, I tell my wife we have to donate to the Bahamas
loved this when I was 27..and still love it now at 69! Thanks!
Got me a tin cup because of this song.
I want to invent a time machine just to experience Jimmy Buffet in his prime
The "Eagles" sing about how I live. Buffett sings about the way I want to live. Love it!
Is it wrong to say I drank a tin cup full of Hawaiian punch while listening too this.
Play this at my celebration of life, por favor.
I wanna be there...
In this cold january weather I want desperately to be back in the islands! At least I have jimmy for now
matthew spalding January is when I love Buffett the most. Missing summer
Justunes 👌👌👌
Now wish I was back in key west with Jim again miss u. Big Al
Myrtle Beach, SC the island I want to go back to!
The national anthem of Bradenton Beach
I want this song played at my funeral
Please don't get LOUDER Justin
Been listening to him since I was 3 ft tall with my pops driving around in the hotrod and summer days out on the boat. Turned 18 last week and can say I still love listening to him. He’ll always be a big part of my childhood
Another Justunes hit.
lol.this song says it all
From the "Gospel"...
i used to flounder gig off Shackleford Banks just off Harkers Island... my good friend drown in the hook. back when the man had me beat. “youll never catch up and youll never get rich” now that i don’t give a flip... that dang carrot trick works good on a donkey and me!! but now i don’t care. thats the difference. i always knew where i was but the money didn’t come so i moved on. i did the same thing in Nashville Tn. i worked there, chasing a god damned carrot! not once did i proposition Urv (Woolsey) or think about singing outside of my shower! well, money times over... it NEVER CAME... just like god? maybe now i can go back to Rock Bottom and see if those spots are any better since i left. oh and a biggg BIGG fuck you god! just like you did me! golden rule, asshole! maybe now ill sell my soul, because YOU wouldn’t give me SHIT for it! Forged in the fire asshole! just like my dad! just like the father! a fucking lie! just like dangling a carrot in front of an ass! fuck you till the day i die! people don’t understand. you might can live off the land but its hard. basic amenities we have today really only cost very little but its the accumulation of them that has us poor in debt and reaching for a carrot we’ll never get... dont let money ruen you. even though thats the ONLY thing being in this country is about. least you realize before its too late... you only get one time on this rock, one go around. and it will never go back. don’t wait till its too late. fuck the money, fuck god and LIVE YOUR LIFE! Cuz if you know what life is worth, you will look for yours on earth! now you see the light?
cry baby, cry baby, cry baby....
his voice sounds pretty great here. don't care for his later stuff.
the awful squad brought me here
same lol
justin you fool
Island boy just wants to go back...
Mr. James Buffet
This should've been on Songs You Know By Heart also. Damn good tune
Love Jimmy!! Live concerts are so much fun!!
my birds name is Margaritaville. Next name is Chalice
RustyBellBarn Photography we had an amazing dog named Cheeseburger, he passed 6 years ago.
One of the best ! Takes me back to growing up on the Bogue Falaya taking my little boat down the Tchefuncte River out to Lake Ponchartrain drinking strawberry hill wine.
When I hear this, I always think of Ocracoke Island, NC.. All the memories and all the fun yet to come!
Hoi toiders?
I discovered Jimmy in the 70"s and still love listening to him in my car and at home channel 24
I have over 120 of Jimmy's songs on my ipod that I listen to everyday as I drive around do my job.
As I get older this all I can think about, just being there and enjoying life for a while.
Closing song for my wedding this evening! @Caribbean Resort by the Ocean
Niiiiiice choice! Can't go wrong with that...or Margaritaville.
Tonight, all of a sudden I started hearing "with a tin cup for a chalice" in my head. I didn't have a copy of the song. THANK YOU.
In 40 years I never heard these songs the way they really sound.
The thing about A1A is that even on one of those cheapo desk tape recorders from the early '80's, with one little 2" speaker it's an unforgettable album.
Just think of how many people have had how many uncountable happy minutes and hours, because of these songs.
You can hear everything so clearly- close enough to perfect that I can't tell the difference.
Both the songs, and the recording quality.
Also, the conversion to digital is excellent.
This is some genuine musical bliss, finding this album and hearing it clearly for the first time ever. Thank you. Your efforts are appreciated.
try the David Lee Roth version,it's very good
Francois Favreau thanks for the tip, it was cool!
just saw him play this on a second encore, solo acoustic in vegas a couple weeks ago...no words to describe it...a defining moment
One of my very favorites by Buffet--great memories with family and friends in the Florida Keys.
A great song about living the good life.
one of his absolute best
