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?
