Marty Robbins - Girl From Spanish Town lyrics

rate me

Past the Gulf Of Mexico, is an island where<br />

I lived and loved a long time ago<br />

Disappointed in love, I decided to roam<br />

Sad was the day that I sailed far away from my home<br />

<br />

Every dream I dream takes me again<br />

To the island down in the Carribean<br />

Back to happiness and my Spanish Town home<br />

<br />

To the brown skinned girl that's causin' me<br />

To be filled with grief and misery<br />

If she takes me back I will never more roam<br />

<br />

Brown skinned girl from Spanish town lives in my heart<br />

I've tried to forget her but how do I start<br />

Constantly she's on my mind both night and day<br />

I've known only sorrow since I sailed away<br />

<br />

Let the tide and trade winds carry me<br />

To the girl I want to marry me<br />

I can't live alone just on memories I've known<br />

<br />

I'm just like a bird that dosen't sing<br />

Like a seagull with a broken wing<br />

Take me off of this ship, let me go home<br />

<br />

Brown skinned girl from Spanish town lives in my heart<br />

I've tried to forget her but how do I start<br />

Constantly she's on my mind both night and day<br />

I've known only sorrow since I sailed away
