Written about a restaurant on the island of Montserrat where Gerry and his band recorded the “Snakes and Ladders” album in 1980. The Baron and his wife Francois were the owners and many a long night was spent…
(Bonsoir mes amis)
(Welcome to the Cafe Le Cabotin)
Now we come down to this island in the sun
And it ain't been easy trying to get a day's work done
But tonight's the night we're gonna have ourselves some fun
We're gonna have some fun
We're gonna go downtown to the Cafe Le Cabotin
Where the baron is waitin' to welcome the rock and roll band
And if we get a little crazy, the baron will understand
He'll understand
Night and day, night and day
We will burn our boats and sail away
Ridin' high, ridin' high
We will leave our mark and say goodbye
Now the place is jumping, the party has just arrived
Sing away the blues, put the light back in your eyes
Yes, on a night like this, it's good to be alive
Just to feel alive
Night and day, night and day
We will burn our boats and sail away
Ridin' high, ridin' high
We will leave our mark and say goodbye
But the daylight comes, it's time to let it be
Yes, the sun is up and shining on the sea
It was one more night and one more memory
Just a memory
Night and day, night and day
We will burn our boats and sail away
Ridin' high, ridin' high
We will leave our mark and say goodbye
