Lyrics

Wake up early one morning
Kiss my mama goodbye
Going back to the island
I'll see ya
Don't worry mama
Don't cry

Be leaving on the island stable
I sure hope that she's still able
Going to sea around 5 o'clock
I'll stand at the bow and see the dock out
Out in the fields from dawn 'til dusk
Swimming in the blue hole is a must
That island where I was born
First thing I will do is grow some corn

Been cooking outside in the iron pot
So young when I learned
I haven't forgot how to cast
And walking old folks smoking pipes and talking
Saturday night we're gonna dance and sway
Shake my belly
Do the goombay
Don't you understand
Live like a king and be a happy man
