This is my island in the sun
Where my people have toiled since time begun I may sail on many a sea Her shores will always be home to me Oh, island in the sun Willed to me by my father's hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest, waters, Your shining sand As morning breaks The heaven on high I lift my heavy load to the sky Sun comes down with a burning glow Mingles my sweat with the earth below Oh, island in the sun Willed to me by my father's hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest, waters, Your shining sand I see woman on bended knee Cutting cane for her family I see man at the waterside Casting nets at the surging tide Oh, island in the sun Willed to me by my father's hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest, waters, Your shining sand I hope the day will never come That I can't awake to the sound of drum Never let me miss carnival With calypso songs philosophical Oh, island in the sun Willed to me by my father's hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest, waters, Your shining sand |

Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh so mellow. Try to remember the kind of September When grass was green and grain was yellow. Try to remember the kind of September When you were a tender and callow fellow. Try to remember and if you remember then follow follow. Try to remember when life was so tender When noone wept except the willow. Try to remember when life was so tender When dreams were kept beside your pillow. Try to remember when life was so tender When love was an ember about to billow. Try to remember and if you remember then follow follow. Deep in December it's nice to remember Although you know the snow will follow. Deep in December it's nice to remember Without a hurt the heart will hollow. Deep in December it's nice to remember The fire of September that made you mellow. Deep in December our hearts should remember and follow follow. |

I say let us put man and a woman together
To find out which one is smarter Some say man but I say no The woman got the man de day should know And not me but the people they say That de man are leading de women astray But I say, that the women of today Smartre than the man in every way That's right de woman is uh smarter That's right de woman is uh smarter That's right de woman is uh smarter, that's right, that's right Ever since the world began Woman was always teaching man And I you listen to my bid attentively I goin' tell you how she smarter than me Samson was the strongest man long ago No one could a beat him, as we all know Until he clash with Deliah on top of the bed She told them all the strength was in the hair of his head You meet a girl at a pretty dance Thinking that you would stand a chance Take her home, thinking she's alone Open de door you find her husband home I was treating a girl independently She was making baby for me When de baby born and I went to see Eyes was blue it was not by me Garden of Eden was very nice Adam never work in Paradise Eve meet snake, Paradise gone She make Adam work from that day on Methuselah spent all his life in tears Lived without a woman for 900 years One day he decided to have some fun The poor man never lived to see 900 and one |

When I was a lad of three-foot-three
Certain questions occurred to me, So I asked me father quite seriously To tell me the story 'bout the bird and bee. He stammered and he stuttered pathetically And this is what he said to me. He said, "The woman piaba and the man piaba and the Ton Ton call baka lemon grass, The lily root, gully root, belly root uhmm, And the famous grandy scratch scratch. It was clear as mud but it covered the ground And the confusion made the brain go 'round. I went and ask a good friend of mine, Known to the world as Albert Einstein. He said "Son, from the beginning of time and creativity There existed the force of relativity Pi r square and a minus ten means a routine only when The solar system in one light year Make the Hayden planetarium disappear So if Mt Everest doesn't move I am positive that it will prove That the woman piaba and the man piaba And the Ton Ton call baka lemon grass, The lily root, gully root, belly root uhmm, And the famous grandy scratch scratch. It was clear as mud but it covered the ground And the confusion made the brain go 'round. I grabbed a boat and went abroad In Baden Baden asked Sigmund Freud He said "Son, from your sad face remove the grouch Put the body down up on the couch I can see from your frustration a neurotic sublimation Hey love and hate is psychosomatic Your Rorsach shows that you're a peri pathetic It all started with a broken sibling In the words of the famous Rudyard Kipling That the woman piaba and the man piaba And the Ton Ton call baka lemon grass, The lily root, gully root, belly root uhmm, And the famous grandy scratch scratch. Well I traveled far and I traveled wide And I don't even have me self a bride All the great men upon this earth Have confused me since my birth I've been over land and been over sea Trying to find answer 'bout the bird and bee But now that I am ninety three I don't give a darn you see If the woman piaba and the man piaba And the Ton Ton call baka lemon grass, The lily root, gully root, belly root uhmm, And the famous grandy scratch scratch |

Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose So the bible says and it still is news Mama may have papa may have But God bless the child That got its own, that got its own Yes the strong gets more While the weak ones fade Empty pockets don't ever make the grade Mama may have, papa may have But God bless the child That's got its own, that's got its own Money you've got lots of friends Crowding around the door When you're gone And the spending ends They don't come no more Rich relations give Crusts of bread and such You can help your self But don't take to much Mama may have, papa may have But God bless the child That's got its own, that's got its own |

By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising
She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin' Cause I've left that girl so many times before. By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin' Off the wall that's all. By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin' She'll turn softly and call my name out low And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her Tho' time and time I try to tell her so She just didn't know I would really go. |

If I had wings like Noah's dove
I'd fly up the river just to see The woman that I love Fare thee well oh my honey I say fare thee well When I woke up this morning It was drizzling rain all around my heart Oh there was an aching pain Fare thee well oh my honey, I say fare thee well Now when you wore your apron low You couldn't keep me No you couldn't keep me from around your door Fare thee well oh my honey, I say fare thee well Now you wear your apron high You say you never, oh you never you Scarcely ever see me passing by Fare thee well oh my honey I say fare thee well Goodbye woman I know I done you wrong Oh fare thee well. |

Down the way
Where the nights are gay And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop I took a trip on a sailing ship And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop (chorus) But I'm sad to say I'm on my way Won't be back for many a day My heart is down My head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town Sounds of laughter everywhere And the dancing girls swing to and fro I must declare my heart is there Though I've been from Maine to Mexico (chorus) But I'm sad to say I'm on my way Won't be back for many a day My heart is down My head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town Down at the market you can hear Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear Ackee*, rice, saltfish are nice And the rum is fine any time o' year (chorus) But I'm sad to say I'm on my way Won't be back for many a day My heart is down My head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town Down the way Where the nights are gay And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop I took a trip on a sailing ship And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop (chorus) But I'm sad to say I'm on my way Won't be back for many a day My heart is down My head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town Sad to say I'm on my way Won't be back for many a day My heart is down My head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town. *ackee: national fruit of Jamaica; ackee and saltfish is the national dish |
