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

The daughter of a captain on the rolling seas
LAm LAm7 RE SOL RE
She would stare across the water from the tree

And said the next time they would sail away just where they please
