Caribbean Melodies (Medley) - Harry Belafonte

1. Island in the sun
Oh, island in the sun, willed to me by fathers hand,
all my days I will sing in praise of your forests, waters, your
shining sand.
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 fathers hand,
all my days I will sing in praise of your forests, waters, your
shining sand.

Sad to say, I´m on my way, won´t be back for many day.
My heart is down, my head is turning around, I had to leave a
little girl in Kingston town.
