Montego Bay

(Hank Cochran - Glenn Martin)



I showed her most of Tennessee that's all I could afford

I even thought of stealing so I could show her more

But she never did seem happy and I often heard her say

Hey, I like it here but I love Montego Bay.



Oh, I should have gone with her at least I wouldn't know

What about Montego Bay that makes it pull so strong

All I've got's old mem'ries of the way she used to say

Hey, I like it here but I love Montego Bay.



Why couldn't I convince her, why couldn't I make her see

There's no way Montego Bay needs her more than me

When she left she seemed so happy I can still hear her say

Hey, I like it here but I love Montego Bay.
