Adieu To My Island - The Kingston Trio

The nights may be warm in Hawaii and the sun may shine on Rome

But the steel bands are playing in Trinidad and my heart tells me that’s home

I must bid adieu to my island.

Leave the nights by the sea.

My heart is heavy

inside me.

Bow down just like a palm tree

I’ve traveled around on the sailing ships from Barbados to Bombay

But the laughter in the market in Trinidad tells me that’s where I should stay

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

The sun’s comin' out of the ocean now, and in an hour I’ll be gone

Watch from the mountain when the ships sail in for the one I’ll be on

I must bid adieu to my island.

Leave the nights by the sea.

My heart is heavy

inside me.

Bow down just like a palm tree

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
