I'm thinking about when I was a sailor
|
Spent my time on the open seas
|
When we'd stay off the coast of Jamaica
|
I'd secretly steal ashore
|
The natives were waiting for
|
The boy with the lazy soul
|
To sing with the sailor
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Vahevala, homeless sailor
|
Vahevala, homeward sail away
|
Vahevala, homeless sailor
|
Vahevala, homeward sail away
|
Every evening I'd be gone
|
Back on board by break of dawn
|
|
I'm thinking about the nights in Jamaica
|
Pretty girls dancin' here and there
|
Stole a keg and now I'm drunk as a sailor
|
The captain he don't know
|
Where Billy he done go
|
But I'm singing with native girls
|
The songs of a sailor
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Every night in Jamaica I'd sing with the lady
|
And drink with the men till the morning appear
|
Healthy sunshine is fresh on my face
|
As the songs of the night puts the ring in my ear
|
|
[Chorus]
|
