me sit down on the sea shore till dee boat she come
me watch the tide come easy in
me couldn't help but open dee rum
so long maybe dee wait until dee boat she come
we set sail in dee morning
she promised me dee honeymoon be so near dee sky
me head began to tell me that dee boat no come
she rock and roll beautiful
me eyes they close and me heart she go flip
me lay down a little woozy
jamaica moon please tell me that dee boat will come
she no can be me bride with dee game she play
me head tell me to 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
they tell me that she look and wait and cry and go back home
down the pier me run dee boat i still can see
sailing fast away with me bride to be
now me broken heart is sailing on that boat she on
me see dee water trailing but dey boat she gone
me missed me bride to be now me head low hung
is so dry me throat me no more can sing
me miss me bride to be no have no ting ting
