"Volcano" By Jimmy Buffet

(In 2/4 time. 16 bar Intro)

​

(Chorus)

Oh, I don't know, I don't know

I don't know where I'm a gonna go...

When the volcano blow!

Oh, I don't know, I don't know

I don't know where I'm a gonna go...

When the volcano blow!

​

Ground she's moving' under me

Tidal waves out on the sea

Sulphur smoke up in the sky

Pretty soon we learn to fly

​

Chorus

​

That man he quickly say to me

Man you better watch your feet

Lava come down soft and hot

You better follow me now... 

Or follow me not

​

Chorus

​

No time to count up what I'm worth

'Cause I just left the planet earth

Where I go I hope there's sun

Not to worry man soon come

​

Chorus

​

Don't want to land in New York city

Don't want to land in Mandalay

Don't want to land in no San Diego

Don't want to land in no Buzzard's Bay

​

Don't want to land in Commanche Sky Park

Or in Nashville, Tennessee

Don't want to land in no San Juan airport

Or the Yukon Territory

​

​

Chorus
