Los Lobos - Jamaica Say You Wil lyrics
[Los Lobos - Jamaica Say You Wil lyrics]
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 please, d
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
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 please, d
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
