Udo Jurgens - Jamaica Mama lyrics

On a visit down the Caribbean way to be exact in Montego Bay, I chanced to see a pretty baby. A lovely pickney smile and I lost my heart by the sea in Montego Bay. a beauty was she my little baby. Jamaica-Mama – uuh, you have a pretty daughter and when I leave her – uuh, I cry livin' eye water. I didn't want those days to end. I'd never known such happiness. I never told her that I soon will have to go – no, no. Chor und Udo: düdüdü…… I followed her up the mountain side, I went with her for a donkey ride. We ran and played, love was around me and then one evening I wanted to say: My plane will soon leave Montego Bay, but the glim in her eyes suddenly warned me. Jamaica-Mama – uuh You have a pretty daughter, and when I leave her – uuh I cry livin' eye water. I didn't want those days to end. I'd never known such happiness. I never told her that I soon will have to go – no, no. Chor und Udo: düdüdü…… I went to her Mama, but I couldn't find words. When I tried to tell her the truth she said: My son – God go with you. Jamaica- Mama – uuh, I have to leave your daughter. Jamaica-Mama – uuh and I cry livin' eye water. I didn't want those days to end. I'd never known such happiness and that I fell in love so deep I couldn't know – no, no. Chor und Udo: düdüdü…… And that I never will forget these days I know Chor und Udo: düdüdü…… And that I never will forget these days I know.
