I made this a couple of years ago with my uke-buddy Johannes.
Hope you enjoy.
Farewell Jamaica
Ton Meijer & Johannes Oosterveer 1976
C F
I wanted to be where I’d never been
G7 C
Coconut picking in the Caribbean
C F
With all them pretty girls laughing in the sun
G7 C
A well fed belly and a bottle of Rum!
C F
Chorus: Oh oh oh Ja-maica
G7 C
You’re the place I want to be!
C F
Only a fool would leave you and go away
G7 C
And you know this fool was me.
C F
So I went on this ship, I crept right in a hole.
G7 C
But the only way we went was to the North Pole.
C F
Now I want to get back to my friends back in town,
G7 C
Cuz’ my coconuts are frozen and my tree is chopped down.
Chorus
C F
If I ever get back than this I will tell
G7 C
In the middle of the snow you know I lived right in hell
C F
A woman to love me I could find nowhere
G7 C
And the only thing that loved me was a polar bear.
Chorus
