VAHEVALA
Loggins & Messina


I'm thinkin' 'bout
When I was a sailor
Spend my time on the
open seas
when we'd stay off the 
coast of Jamaica
 
I'd secretly steal ashore
when natives waitin' for
the boy with the lazy soul
Sing with the sailor....
 
Vahevala
Home of Sailor
Vahevala
Homeward Sail Away
 
Vahevala
Home of Sailor
Vahevala
Homeward Sail Away
 
Every evening I'd be gone
Back on board by break of dawn
 
I'm thinkin' 'bout 
The nights in Jamaica
Pretty girls dancin' here and there
Stole a Keg
and now I'm drunk as a Sailor
 
And Captain he don't know
where Billy he done go
but I'm singing with native girls
the song of a sailor
 
Vahevala
Home of Sailor
Vahevala
Homeward Sail Away
 
Vahevala
Home of Sailor
Vahevala
Homeward Sail Away
 
Every sailor sail away
You'd better be back on board by break of day....
 
Hold hold on me there
hold hold on the way
 
Every night in Jamaica I sing with the lady 
and drink with the men till the morning appear
When the sunshine is fresh on my face 
The song of the night put the ring in my ear
