Past the Gulf Of Mexico, is an island where I lived and loved a long time ago Disappointed in love, I decided to roam Sad was the day that I sailed far away from my home Every dream I dream takes me again To the island down in the Caribbean Back to happiness and my Spanish Town home To the brown skinned girl that's causin' me To be filled with grief and misery If she takes me back I will never more roam Brown skinned girl from Spanish Town lives in my heart I've tried to forget her but how do I start? Constantly she's on my mind both night and day I've known only sorrow since I sailed away Let the tide and trade winds carry me To the girl I want to marry me I can't live alone just on memories I've known I'm just like a bird that doesn't sing Like a seagull with the broken wing Take me off of this ship, let me go home Brown skinned girl from Spanish town lives in my heart I've tried to forget her but how do I start? Constantly she's on my mind both night and day I've known only sorrow since I sailed away
