Me walking' alone, me bring jug of rum Me sit down on the seashore till the boat she come Is dark the night, is quiet the dock De boat a little late she due at twelve o'clock Me watch the tide, come easy in Is low the Moon, but high the wind Jamaica Moon Jamaica Moon Me was still alone and couldn't help but open the rum So long may be the wait before the boat to come The girl say she love me she come back to me We set sail in the morning go back across the sea The boat sail to New York the Hotel buildings high We find a honeymoon so far up neat the sky Jamaica Moon Jamaica Moon Me so alone me still sip on the rum Me heart fall down in pieces if me bride no come I go to America, with me ting ting ting She rock and roll beautiful, she dance and sing She hold me tight, and she touch me lip Me eyes they close me heart go flip Jamaica Moon, Jamaica Moon Me lay down a little woozy, me been drinking the rum Jamaica Moon please tell me that the boat will come She no can be me bride if the game she play Me head tell me to go but me body say stay Me lay down on the dock, was so good the rum Me fall asleep and no hear when the boat she come Jamaica Moon, Jamaica Moon De girl she come, till dawn she roam They tell me that she look & wait & cry & go back home The boat whistle blow, me open me eyes So bright was the sun so blue the sines To the shore me run the 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 the water trailing but the boat she gone Me miss me bride to be now me head low hung Me sleep too long, no more me touch the rum Is so dry me throat, me no more can sing Me miss me bride no ting ting ting.
