Vahevala, homeward sail away Vahevala, homeless sailor Vahevala, homeward sail away Every evening I'd be gone
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 he done go
But I'm singing with native girls
The songs of a sailor
Vahevala, homeless sailor
Vahevala, homeward sail away Vahevala, homeless sailor Vahevala, homeward sail away Every single, single way
Gotta be back on board by break of
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
