Jamaica Moon

Me walking alone, me bring jug of rum

Me sit down on the sea shore till dee boat she come

It long dee night, it's quiet dee dock

The boat a little late, she do a 12 o'clock

Me watch the tide come easy in

It low the moon, but high dee wind

Jamaica moon, Jamaica moon

Me was so alone, me couldn't help but open dee rum

So long maybe dee wait until dee boat she come

Me girl she love me, she come back for me

We set sail in dee morning, go back across dee sea

We dock in New York, the building be so high

She promised me dee honeymoon be so near dee sky

Jamaica moon, Jamaica moon

Me still alone, me sip on dee rum

Me head began to tell me that dee boat no come

To bring me me love, bringing me me ting, ting, ting

She rock and roll beautiful, she dance and sing

She hold me closer me, she pushed me lip

Me eyes they close and me heart she go flip

Jamaica moon, Jamaica moon

Me lay down a little woozy, me been drinking dee rum

Jamaica moon please tell me that dee boat will come

She no can be me bride with dee game she play

Me head tell me to go but me body say stay

Me lay down on dee dock was so good dee rum

Me fall asleep at noon here when de boat she come

Jamaica moon, Jamaica moon

At twelve she come, till dawn she roam

They tell me that she look and wait and cry and go back home

Dee boat whistle blew, me open me eyes

So bright were dee sun, blue Jamaica sky

Down the pier me run dee boat I still can see

Sailing fast away with me bride to be

Jamaica moon, Jamaica moon

Now me broken heart is sailing on that boat she on

Me see dee water trailing but dey boat she gone

Me missed me bride to be now me head low hung

Me sleep too long, no more me touch dee rum

Is so dry me throat me no more can sing

Me miss me bride to be no have no ting ting

Jamaica moon, me love when she gone

Me walking back home, me still all alone
