Girl From Spanish Town Lyrics - Marty Robbins

Past the Gulf Of Mexico is an island where 

I lived and loved a long time ago 

Disappointed in love I decided to roam 

Sad was the day that I sailed far away from my home 

Every dream I dream takes me again 

To the island down in the Caribbean 

Back to happiness and my Spanish Town home 

To the brown skinned girl that's causin' me 

To be filled with grief and misery 

If she takes me back I will never more roam 

Brown skinned girl from Spanish town lives in my heart 

I've tried to forget her but how do I start 

Constantly she's on my mind both night and day 

I've known only sorrow since I sailed away 

Let the tide and trade winds carry me 

To the girl I want to marry me 

I can't live alone just on mem'ries I've known 

I'm just like a bird that dosen't sing 

Like a seagull with a broken wing 

Take me off of this ship let me go home 

Brown skinned girl from Spanish town lives in my heart
