Ya

Here we go
Ya
Ya
Go back to the island boy
Wake up early one morning
Kiss my mama goodbye
Going back to the island
I'll see ya
Don't worry mama
Don't cry
Ya
Everybody
Let's do it
Be leaving on the island stable
I sure hope that she's still able
Going to sea around 5 o'clock
I'll stand at the bow and see the dock out
Out in the fields from dawn 'til dusk
Swimming in the blue hole is a must
That island where I was born
First thing I will do is grow some corn
Wake up early one morning
Kiss my mama goodbye
Going back to the island
I'll see ya
Don't worry mama
Don't cry
Been cooking outside in the iron pot
So young when I learned
I haven't forgot how to cast
And walking old folks smoking pipes and talking
Saturday night we're gonna dance and sway
Shake my bell
Do the dawn day people
Don't you understand
Live like a king and be a happy man
Wake up early one morning
Kiss my mama goodbye
Going back to the island
I'll see ya
Don't worry mama
Don't cry
Go back to the island boy
Are you ready
How ya going to go there
By mail boat
