Chris Foster Cayo Hueso
CAYO HUESO Words and Music Chris Foster January 29, 2003 The dreamland of the world is on an island The Indians were the first to stake their claim The Spaniards came along And found a lot of bones And discovered it already had a name They called it Cayo Hueso They came to Cayo Hueso It was Cayo Hueso It was the king of Spain’s It was Cayo Hueso When they first reached Cayo Hueso It was Cayo Hueso Because Skeleton’s remained. Wreckers were a rich part of its history Running after ships that were going down The first to get there claimed the loot. Totally legal and all… To Boot! Then they’d bring the goods to auction in the town. Down in Cayo hueso coral reef off Cayo Hueso Down in Cayo Hueso Ships in storms were often doomed Down in Cayo Hueso legal pirates Cayo Hueso Down in Cayo Hueso the wrecking business boomed Instrumental: 90 miles north of Havana exist another world the locals march to the beat of their own drum this little piece of paradise has everything you need you’ll never want to leave it when you come. The locals call themselves the conch republic For they seceded from the union where others tried and failed Dennis Wardlow took some bread and Broke it on a sailors head Then surrendered to the Admiral. What a story that is to tell…. Only in Cayo Hueso Conch republic Cayo Hueso Come on to Cayo Hueso. Through a road block asinine. All in Cayo Hueso, South of Homestead Cayo Hueso Come to Cayo Hueso, Skeeters last chance was the line Down in Cayo Hueso historic cayo hueso Down in Cayo Hueso is where I want to stay The town of Cayo Hueso I just love Cayo Hueso I go to Cayo Hueso to chase my blues away!
