Help me find a way to fill these sails
Hiding from the children so they would not tell
Jamaica, say you will
She would stare across the water from the trees
We had brought her things down to the bay, what could I do
Last time he was home he held her on his knees
And stay until' my ships can find the sea
Jamaica, say you will
The daughter of a captain on the rolling seas
And said, "The next time they would sail away just where they pleased"
Help me find a way to fill these lifeless sails
Help me find a way to fill these empty hours
We would stay there 'til her sister rang the evening bell
Say you will come again tomorrow
Jamaica was a sweet young one, I loved her true
She was a comfort and a mercy through and through
Jamaica, say you will
Hiding from this world together, next thing I knew
