Island woman, island woman Making me forget who I am Island woman, island woman Making me forget who I am Now the fishing was good on the island That's why I'd come back for more Then by my boat saw her swimming I followed her into the shore Singing island woman, island woman Making me forget who I am Island woman, island woman Making me forget who I am Well she danced for me in the moonlight Drank up all of my rum But when I woke in the daylight She'd taken my money and run Now my pockets are full of empty Things are not as they were All alone on the island With only the memory of her My pretty island woman, island woman Island woman
