The sky is grey and I'm feeling blue,
Ain't got no money and I ain't got you,
It's a crying shame that we don't talk no more.
The rain is falling and my clothes are wet,
I've just smoked my last cigarette,
There's a case of empty bottles on the floor.
Hey, baby, won't you come on down?
Meet me in Jamaica in Kingston Town,
Hey, baby, won't you come on down?
Meet me in Jamaica before I drown.
Broken promises, broken dreams,
My head is full of useless schemes,
They're lying like old papers on the ground.
It's time to quit while we're ahead,
Time to forget all the things we said,
Just hold my hand and don't you make a sound.
Hey, baby, won't you take a chance?
Down in Jamaica we can find romance,
Hey, baby, won't you meet me there?
Down in Jamaica we've a life to share.
Hey, baby, won't you come on down?
Meet me in Jamaica in Kingston Town,
Hey, baby, won't you come on down?
Meet me in Jamaica before I drown.
