 Almost heaven, West Jamaica,

 True Ridge Mountains, shining down the river.

 All my friends there,  holding on those ridge,

 Younger than the mountain, blowin' like a breeze.

 I heard her voice; in the mornin' hour she calls me.

Oh yes-terday, yesterday.

 Dark and dusky painted on the sky,

 Misty taste of moonshine, tears gone from my eye.
