When shadows fall and stars appear
A pain I feel I cannot bear If I could relive that faithful day I would not turn my love away I reveal how I do adore her Hang my heart on my sleeve just for her All my love thru-out life assure her If this moment I could Amour her. When I think of her tender lips Gentle touch of her finger-tips Reminisce on her eyes so fair Moonlight soft on her downy hair I reveal how I do adore her Hang my heart on my sleeve just for her All my love thru-out life assure her If this moment I could Amour her. If some day I should see her smile Hold her hand and me heart beguile Feel her warmth in her earnest prayer Darling shield me from all despair I reveal how I do adore her Hang my heart on my sleeve just for her All my love thru-out life assure her If this moment I could Amour her. Now I'm standing alone and sad Thinkin' upon the joys I've had Time makes fools of men they say Take me back to that distant day I reveal how I do adore her Hang my heart on my sleeve just for her All my love thru-out life assure her If this moment I could Amour her |

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 |

Every time I'm away from Liza
Water come to me eye Every time I'm away from Liza Water come to me eye REFRAIN: Come back Liza, come back girl Wipe the tear from my eye Come back Liza, come back girl Wipe the tear from my eye I remember when love was new Water come to me eye There was one, but now there's two Water come to me eye REFRAIN: Come back Liza, come back girl... When the evening starts to fall Water come to me eye I need to hear my Liza's call Water come to me eye REFRAIN: Come back Liza, come back girl... Standing there in the marketplace Water come to me eye Soon I'll feel her warm embrace Water come to me eye REFRAIN: Come back Liza, come back girl... In the shadow I stand a while Water come to me eye Soon I'll see my Liza's smile Water come to me eye REFRAIN: Come back Liza, come back girl... Every time I'm away from Liza Water come to me eye Every time I'm away from Liza Water come to me eye REFRAIN: Come back Liza, come back girl... |

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 |

I met her in Venezuela
With a basket on her head And if she loved others she didn’t say But I knew she do, to pass away pass away the time in Venezuela Pass away the time in Venezuela I gave her a sash of blue A beautiful sash of blue Because I knew that she could do with all the tricks, I knew she knew To pass away the time in Venezuela To pass away the time in Venezuela And when the wind was out to sea, the wind was out to sea And she was taking leave of me I said sheer up there’ll always be Sailors on shore on leave in Venezuela Sailors on shore on leave in Venezuela Her linger was changed but the thought of her beautiful smile The thought of her beautiful smile Will haunt me and taunt me for many a mile She was my gal and she did the wale To pass a time in Venezuela To pass way the time in Venezuela |
