Island in the sun:
(Harry Belafonte)
This is my island in the sun
Where my people have toiled since time begun
I may sail on many a sea
Her shores will always be home to me

Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand

Coconut woman:
(Harry Belafonte)
Coconut woman is calling out
And everyday you can hear her shout
Coconut woman is calling out
And everyday you can hear her shout
Get your coconut water, coconut
Man it's good for your daughter, coconut
Coco got a lotta iron, coconut
Make you strong like a lion, coconut
Jamaica Fare Well:
(Harry Belafonte)
Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reach Jamaica I made a stop
But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Bridge:
Day, me say day-ay-ay-o
Here are songs everbody knows
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day-ay-ay-o

Angelina:
(Harry Belafonte)
Angelina, Angelina, please bring down your concertina
And play a welcome for me 'cause I'll be coming home from sea
Angelina, Angelina, please bring down your concertina
And play a welcome for me 'cause I'll be coming home from sea
