This station rules the nation
Come on yeah yeah yeah
Wake up early one morning
Kiss my mama goodbye
Goin' back to the island, I'll see ya
Don't worry mama, don't cry
Been livin' on the island stable
I sure hope that she's still able
To go to the sea around 5 o'clock
I'll stand at the bow and see the dock
Out in the fields from dawn 'til dusk
Swimmin' in the blue hole is a must
That island where I was born
First thing I will do is grown some corn
Wake up early one morning
Kiss my mama goodbye
Goin' back to the island, I'll see ya
Don't worry mama, don't cry
Been cookin' outside in the iron pot
I was young when I learned to walk
Old folks smokin' pipes and talking
Saturday night we're gonna dance and sway
Shake my belly, do this
People don't you understand
Live like a king and be a happy man
Wake up early one morning
Kiss my mama goodbye
Goin' back to the island, I'll see ya
Don't worry mama, don't cry
Go back to the Island, boy
Are you ready? How you gonna get there?
Banana boat!
Are you ready? How you gonna get there?
Banana boat!
huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh
You gotta go down Nassau, go to the island
Go to the Island, go to the island
Go down to Freeport
Go to Long Island
Wake up early one morning
Kiss my mama goodbye
Goin' back to the island, I'll see ya
Don't worry mama, don't cry
I got to go, I got to go, I got to go back to the island
I got to go, I got to go, I got to go back to the island
I got to go back, I got to go back, I got to go back to the island
I got to go, I got to go, I got to go back to the island
Wake up early one morning
Kiss my mama goodbye
Goin' back to the island, I'll see ya
Don't worry mama, don't cry
