GOING BACK TO OKINAWA Lyrics

Artist: Ry Cooder
Album: Get Rhythm

(Ry Cooder)

Goinâ‚¬â„¢ back down to Okinawa
Sorry, baby, but I canâ‚¬â„¢t take you
You better stay at home in California
Thereâ‚¬â„¢s nothing over there that you can do

Goinâ‚¬â„¢ back down to Okinawa
Ainâ‚¬â„¢t gonna do me like youâ‚¬â„¢ve done before
They treat me like a king down in Okinawa
And I may never come back no more

Itâ‚¬â„¢s just an island floating in the sun
Everybody is having so much fun
Pretty mamas laying in the sand
Sure to know how to treat your man

Okinawian baby, won't you come by me ?
Sun going down in the China Sea
Making love on the beach all night
Okinawa moon is shining so bright

Folks in Okinawa sure have fun
They get together when the working day is done
Drinking cheap wine. and making romance
While some old man's doing the Okina dance

Back in the days of World War II
Fought against the Japanese like me and you
Everybodyâ‚¬â„¢s worried â‚¬Ëœbout World War III
Okinawa's just the place where Iâ‚¬â„¢m gonna be

Going back to Okinawa
Sorry, but I canâ‚¬â„¢t take you
Never coming back no more, baby
