When I was in Jamaica
I heard about Colón
Colón boys are raising mighty hell
They buy _ _ _ _ _ and powder
To shoot their country men
But now they cannot buy a bow or hay
hay = arrow
Take me home, my mind turn back
Take me to the country where I born
Where sweet potatoes grow
And _ _ _ _ _ _ blossom blow
Take me to the country where I born
When I was in Jamaica
I heard about Colón
Colón girls are raising mighty hell
They dress in _ _ _ _ and sandals
And cotton dress on _ _ _ _ _ _ _
But now they cannot change
a second suit.
