Artist/Band: Jackson Browne
Lyrics for Song: Jamaica Say You Will
Lyrics for Album: The Very Best of Jackson Browne [2004]



Jamaica was the lovely one, I played her well

As we lay in the tall grass where the shadows fell

Hiding from the children so they would not tell

We would stay there 'till her sister rang the evening bell



Jamaica, say you will

Help me find a way to fill these empty hours

Say you will come again tomorrow



The daughter of a captain on the rolling seas

She would stare across the water from the trees

Last time he was home he held her on his knees

And said the next time they would sail away just where they pleased



Jamaica, say you will

Help me find a way to fill these lifeless sails

And stay until my ships can find the sea



Jamaica was a sweet young one, I loved her true

She was a comfort and a mercy through and through

Hiding from this world together, next thing I knew

We had brought her things down to the bay

what could I do



Jamaica, say you will

Help me find a way to fill these sails

And we will sail until our waters have run dry


Jamaica Say You Will

Jackson Browne's "Jamaica Say You Will" stands as a defining track from his 1973 debut album, Jackson Browne. The song captures the artist's signature blend of introspective lyricism and melodic rock, reflecting his early exploration of personal relationships and travel. Recorded during a period when Browne was establishing himself within the California singer-songwriter movement, the track showcases his ability to craft intimate narratives that resonate with broad audiences. While often associated with his later hits, this recording remains a cornerstone of his discography, highlighting the emotional depth and acoustic precision that characterize his work. The song's enduring presence on compilation albums underscores its importance in understanding Browne's artistic evolution and his lasting influence on contemporary folk-rock music.
