The daughter of a captain on the rolling sea
She would stare across the water from the tree

Said the next time they would sail away
Just where they pleased

A way to fill, these lifeless sails
And stay until my ships cab find the sea
Fill

Jamaica was a sweet young one, and I loved her true
She was a comfort and a mercy through and through
Hiding from this world togethor, next thing I knew
She had brought her things, down to the bay

Jamaica say you will, help me find
A way to fill, these sails
And then we'll sail until our waters have run dry
