Girl From Spanish Town lyrics

Past the Gulf Of Mexico is an island where

I lived and loved a long time ago

Disappointed in love, I decided to roam

Sad was the day that I sailed far away from my home

Every dream I dream takes me again

To the island down in the Carribean

Back to happiness and my Spanish Town home

To the brown skinned girl that's causin' me

To be filled with grief and misery

If she takes me back I will never more roam

Brown skinned girl from Spanish Town lives in my heart

I've tried to forget her but how do I start?

Constantly she's on my mind both night and day

I've known only sorrow since I sailed away

Let the tide and tradewinds carry me

To the girl I want to marry me

I can't live alone just on memories I've known

I'm just like a bird that doesn't sing

Like a seagull with a broken wing

Take me off of this ship, let me go home

Brown skinned girl from Spanish Town lives in my heart

I've tried to forget her but how do I start?

Constantly she's on my mind both night and day

I've known only sorrow since I sailed away
