JAMAICA SERENADE
BY JIMMY TUCKER
REFRAIN
I KNOW AN ISLAND IN THE WEST
IT’S CALLED JAMAICA FAIR
WITH BLUE GREEN SEAS AND CHORAL SANDS
I WISH THAT I WAS THERE
OH I WISH THAT I WERE THERE
I’M WRITING THIS FROM LONDON TOWN
WHERE I HAVE COME TO WIN RENOWN
BUT TROPIC NIGHTS UPON THESE SHORES
THEY HAUNT ME MORE AND MORE
REFRAIN
SHOULD I ATTAIN TO WEALTH OR FAME
HERE IN THIS DISTANT LAND
MY LOVE FOR THEE WOULD BE THE SAME
O DEAR, DEAR NATIVE LAND
O DEAR, DEAR NATIVE LAND
FOR SOON I WILL BE COMING BACK
AND THOUGH A GOAL I SHOULD NOT LACK
WHERE GOLDEN SUN AND SILVERY SEAS
WHERE WEALTH ENOUGH FOR ME
REFRAIN
Enjoy the lyrics !!!
