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!
