Big Ken he tell the stories
How he lived the life of case
He's just cultivating the memories
Of his life in the Caribbean
Down in Barbados

[Chorus]
Somebody told a lie once
And he believed it
Somebody crossed a line once
Chasing some fools' gold
Someone's lost their lifeline
Someone's lost at sea
It's all lost time
When the heart's not where
It should be

In his spare time Ken is a poet
Though he does not finish much
He knows he needs a change of scene
Or he'll surely lose his touch
Down in Barbados

Ken left a women behind there
She looked straight into his soul
She knew what made him laugh and cry
Now she's just there growing old
Down in Barbados
