A trail connecting Tampa to Miami, 1926
words by Cliff Friend
music by Jos. H. Santly
Lyrics
- There’s a trail that’s winding thru the Everglades
Land where skies are always blue above
Where each flower in its bower never fades
There I left the one I love
Soon I’m gonna leave all my cares behind
For I’ve made, yes, I’ve made up my mind
Chorus
Soon I’ll wander down the Tamiami Trail
The Tamiami Trail, where it leads down to the sea
There is where the sun is shining daily
Every little peach sitting on the beach
Strummin’ on a ukulele
I’ll build a two by four just for my baby and me
I mean a brand new bamboo bungaloo without fail
Any wonder why I wanna settle down
I’m gonna settle down on the Tamiami Trail
- Land of romance where you see the pale blue moon
Shining every night from up above
Where each day is sunny and its always June
There I left the one I love
And I’m glad to let everybody know
There, yes, there is where I’m gonna go
