Jamaica Say You Will Lyrics - Connoisseur's Cocker - Joe Cocker

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 

pleased

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
