Lyrics Jamaica Lady - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

From Port Royal to Le Roy
I am yours Jamaica Lady
My heart is sinking like a stone
You have lived in my soul
Fair thee well, Jamaica Lady
It is the saddest fair well I've ever known

There'll be a boat out on the tide
When the moon is rising
Sailing at break of day
Riding on the one track winds

I'll be staring with half dim eyes
At the blue horizon
Standing on a lonely island
Pretty sails slowly fade away

Bye bye Jamaica Lady
Bye bye Jamaica Lady
Have you ever seen the beauty of a sailing ship?
Simple easy motion
Bye bye Jamaica Lady
Bye bye pretty Sail slowly fade away

From Port Royal to Le Roy
I am yours Jamaica Lady
My heart is sinking like a stone
You have lived in my soul
Fair thee well, Jamaica Lady
It is the saddest fair well I've ever known

Bye Bye Jamaica Lady
Bye bye Jamaica Lady
Have you ever seen the beauty of a sailing ship?
Simple easy motion
Bye bye Jamaica Lady
Bye bye Jamaica Lady
Bye bye bye
Bye bye Jamaica Lady
Jamaica Lady
Bye bye Jamaica Lady
Ohhhhhh
Bye bye Jamaica Lady
Bye bye bye
Bye bye Jamaica Lady
Bye bye bye
Bye bye Jamaica Lady
Bye bye Jamaica Lady
Bye bye bye
Bye bye pretty sail slowly fading away
