My Baby went to Chokoloskee
©2023
My Baby went to Chokoloskee
She doesn’t want to see me anymore
My baby went to Chokoloskee
I’m never going to see her face again

She thought that I was coming to get her
But I got hung up in the Keyes
My baby went to Chokoloskee
She’s gliding through the mangrove trees

She’s slipping through the ten thousand islands
Paddling and singing to the birds
My baby went to Chokoloskee
She left without saying nasty words

I wonder what she’s thinking
I hope she quit her drinking
I wonder if she’s thinking of me now
I wonder where she’s sleeping
Whose company she’s keeping
I hope that she is thinking of me now

I spent all my money on a boat now
First time I took it out it sank
So I’m crashing with a hard luck friend now
His trailer is moldy and it’s dank

Meanwhile my baby’s eating shrimp and black beans
She’s great in the kitchen I can vouch
While I’m lying here dreaming about her
Sleeping on my friend’s ratty couch

My baby went to Chokoloskee
She never wants to see me anymore
My baby went to Chokoloskee
I’m never gonna see her face again
She’s never gonna see me anymore
Maybe I should thank my lucky stars
