Jamaica, Say You Will |
Jamaica was a lovely woman, I played her well |
As we lay in the tall grass where the shadows fell |
Hiding from the children so they would not tell |
We would stay there 'til her sister rang the evening bell |
Jamaica, say you will |
You help me find a way to fill |
These empty hours say you will |
You come again tomorrow |
The daughter of a captain on the rolling seas |
She would stare across the water from the trees |
The last time he was home, he held her on his knees |
He said the next time they would sail away just where they please |
Jamaica, say you will |
You help me find a way to fill |
These lifeless sails and stay until |
My ship can find the sea |
Jamaica was a sweet young thing, I loved her too |
She was a comfort and a mercy through and through |
Hiding from this world together, the next thing I knew |
They had brought her things down to the bay, what could I do? |
Jamaica, say you will |
You help me find a way to fill |
These sails and we will sail until |
Our waters have run dry |
