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.
