ADIEU TO MY ISLAND
(Travis Edmonson)
The Kingston Trio


Chorus:
I must bid adieu to my island. 
Leave the nights by the sea. 
My heart is heavy inside me. 
Bow down just like a palm tree.
The nights may be warm in Hawaii 
and the sun may shine on Rome
But the steel bands are playing in Trinidad 
and my heart tells me that's home.

Chorus

I've traveled around on the sailing ships 
from Barbados to Bombay,
But the laughter in the market in Trinidad 
tells me that's where I should stay.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (repeat)

The sun's comin' out of the ocean, now 
and in an hour I'll be gone.
Watch from the mountain when the ships sail in 
for the one that I'll be on.

Chorus

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, a, la, la (repeat)
