| | Death Of An Unpopular Poet Lyrics Artist(Band):Jimmy Buffett
1973 I once knew a poet Who lived before his time He and his dog Spooner Would listen while he'd rhyme Words to make ya happy Words to make you cry Then one day the poet suddenly did die But he left behind a closet Filled with verse and rhyme And through some strange transaction One was printed in the Times And everybody's searchin' For the king of undergound Well they found him down in Florida With a tombstone for a crown Everybody knows a line From his book that cost four ninety-nine I wonder if he knows he's doin' Quite this fine 'Cause his books are all best sellers And his poems were turned to song Had his brother on a talk show Though they never got along And now he's called immortal Yes he's even taught in school They say he used his talents A most proficient tool But he left all of his royalties To Spooner his ol' hound Growin' old on steak and bacon In a doghouse ten feet 'round And everybody wonders Did he really lose his mind No he was just a poet who lived before his time He was just a poet who lived before his time If you find some error in Death Of An Unpopular Poet Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about Death Of An Unpopular Poet One of Buffett's Best | Reviewer: Roads Scholar | 10/6/2007 "Songs You Know by Heart" lacks two of Jimmy's most profound tunes: "The Captain and the Kid" and "Death of an Unpopular Poet". It's a tragedy that they weren't included on the quintessential Buffet greatest hits compendium. Both these songs truly belong with "He Went to Paris" and "A Pirate Looks at Forty". beautiful ballad | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/29/2005 this is a song that is a beautiful ballad. early in his career Buffett has the markings of the genius early fans had the pleasure of watching him go over the deep end Review the song Death Of An Unpopular Poet The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics.
