Sister Kate She came too late Brown-skinned woman She was my fate She got island magic In her eyes If I fell in love I wouldn't be surprised I'd been waitin' Down at the bar For a blonde-haired lady I'd met the day before When this natural woman She cam our of the night With her black eyes shining She was out of sight [CHORUS] Whoa ho, ho Oh, my island woman My island woman, I see Whoa ho, ho Oh, my island woman My island woman For me She started dancin' Out on the floor I'd never seen no woman Move like that before Well, I may be right And I may be wrong But her sweet black magic Made me come along [Repeat CHORUS] When she stopped dancin' She sat on my right And I couldn't stop starin' at her She's warm and gentle Like as summer's night On a starry night just waitin' for love (Instrumental break) When she stopped dancin' She sat on my right And I couldn't stop starin' at her She's warm and gentle Like as summer's night On a starry night just waitin' for love [Repeat CHORUS to fade] (instrumental outro)
