Loggins & Messina - Vahevala Lyrics
I'm thinking about when I was a sailorSpent my time on the open seasWhen we'd stay off the coast of JamaicaI'd secretly steal ashoreThe natives were waiting forThe boy with the lazy soulTo sing with the sailor(Chorus)Vahevala, homeless sailorVahevala, homeward sail awayVahevala, homeless sailorVahevala, homeward sail awayEvery evening I'd be goneBack on board by break of dawnI'm thinking about the nights in JamaicaPretty girls dancin' here and thereStole a keg and now I'm drunk as a sailorThe captain he don't knowWhere Billy he done goBut I'm singing with native girlsThe songs of a sailor(Chorus)Every night in Jamaica I'd sing with the ladyAnd drink with the men till the morning appearHealthy sunshine is fresh on my faceAs the songs of the night puts the ring in my ear(Chorus)
