(intro) Jamaica was the 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 untill 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 tree Last time he was home he held her on his knees And said the next time they would sail away just where they please Jamaica say you will help me find a way to fill these lifeless sails Stay untill my ships can find the sea ( ) Jamaica was a sweet young one I loved her true She was a comfort and a mercy thru and thru Hiding from this world together next thing I knew They 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 then we'll Sail untill our waters have run dry
