Well, you said goodbye, baby, my boat sails today
And what we'll be carrying, you know I can't say
But we'll meet here for coffee the night I arrive
June 25th at the 4th of July
On June 25th at the 4th of July
Wait for me, baby, and baby, don't cry
And I'll bring back more money than money can buy
June 25th at the 4th of July
. . .
Some say he went down in a Florida gale
Some say he died in a Panama jail
Some say he got rich and forgot his goodbye
And June 25th at the 4th of July
So she sits in the back booth where they sat before
Drinking café con leche and watching the door
She's rocking her baby to this lullaby
June 25th at the 4th of July
Singing June 25th at the 4th of July
Wait for me, baby, and baby, don't cry
And I'll bring back more money than money can buy
June 25th at the 4th of July
June 25th at the 4th of July
