Jamaica Moon

Me walking' alone me bring jug of rum
 Me sit down on the sea shore till dee boat she come
 It long dee night, it's quiet dee dock
 The boat a little late she do a 12 o'clock
 Me watch the tide come easy in
 It low the moon, but high dee wind
 Jamaica moon, Jamaica moon
 Me was so alone, me couldn't help but open dee rum
 So long maybe dee wait until dee boat she come
 Me girl she love me she come back for me
 We set sail in dee morning go back across dee sea
 We dock in New York, the building be so high
 She promised me dee honeymoon be so near dee sky
 Jamaica moon, Jamaica moon
 Me still alone, me sip on dee rum
 Me head began to tell me that dee boat no come
 To bring me me love, bringing me ting, ting, ting
 She rocked and roll beautiful, she dance and sing
 She hold me closer me she pushed me lip
 Me eyes they close, and me heart she go flip
 Jamaica moon, Jamaica moon
 Me lay down a little woosey, me been drinking dee rum
 Jamaica moon please tell me that dee boat will come
 She no can be me bride with dee game she play
 Me hoped to let her go but me body say stay
 Me lay down on dee dock was so good dee rum
 Me fall asleep at noon here when de boat she come
 Jamaica moon, Jamaica moon
 At twelve she come, till dawn she roam
 They tell me that she look and wait and cry and go back home
 Dee boat whistle blew, me open me eyes
 So bright were dee sun, blue Jamaica sky
 Down the pier me run dee boat I still can see
 Sailing fast away with me bride to be
 Jamaica moon, Jamaica moon
 Now be broken heart is sailing on that boat she on
 Me see the water trailing but the boat she gone
 Me missed me bride to be now me head low hung
 Me sleep too long no more me touch dee rum
 It so dry me throat me no more can sing
 Me miss me bride to be no have no ting ting
 Jamaica moon, me love when she gone
 Me walking back home, me still all alone
