AEm I'm thinking about when I was a sailor ADE Spent my time on the open seas AEm When we'd stay off the coast of Jamaica D-D-D-A I'd secretly steal ashore D-D-D-A The natives were waiting for D-D-D-A The boy with the lazy soul D-D-D-AE To sing with the sailor (Chorus) AD Vahevala, homeless sailor Vahevala, homeward sail away Vahevala, homeless sailor Vahevala, homeward sail away EmA Every evening I'd be gone EmAE Back on board by break of dawn
I'm thinking about the nights in Jamaica Pretty girls dancin' here and there Stole a keg and now I'm drunk as a sailor The captain he don't know Where Billy he done go But I'm singing with native girls The songs of a sailor
(Chorus)
Every night in Jamaica I'd sing with the lady And drink with the men till the morning appear Healthy sunshine is fresh on my face As the songs of the night puts the ring in my ear
