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 'till 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 
And 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 this 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
