Jamaica Say You Will
Lyrics
Jamaica was a lovely one, 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 help me find
A way to fill these empty hours
Say you will
Come again tomorrow
The daughter of a captain on the rolling seas
She would stare across the water from the trees
Last time he was home he held her on his knees
Said the next time they would sail away just where they pleased
Jamaica, say you will help me find
A way to fill these lifeless sails
And stay until
My ships can find the sea
Jamaica was a sweet young one, I loved her true
She was a comfort and a mercy through and through
Hiding from the world together, next thing I knew
We had brought her things down to the bay, what could I do?
Jamaica, say you will help me find
A way to fill these sails
And we will sail until
Our waters have run dry
