The Island Down Below
(Richard Provencio / Steve Hopper
Hey my friend wake up, come and go with me,
There's a island not too far away that you just got to see.
Come on Hey Joe, Now Hey Joe, Hey Joe, come on let's go to the island down below.
Now Hey Joe, Now Hey Joe, Hey Joe, come on let's go to the island down below.
In the market square there's a pretty little girl yeah, pretty as she can be
With the wink of a eye she flashes a smile, but she only smiles for me.
Now Hey Joe, Now Hey Joe, Hey Joe, come on let's go to the island down below.
Middle of the town, when the sun goes down, the band begins to play
Everybody comes when they hear the drums and the girls begin to sway.
I gotta go, if I've gotta swim, if I gotta catch a boat, I don't care how I gotta get there
Yeah I just got ta go.
Now Hey Joe, Now Hey Joe, Hey Joe, come on let's go to the island down below.
Now Hey Joe, Now Hey Joe, Now Hey Joe, come on let's go to the island down below.
Hey my friend, wake up, come and go with me
There's a island not too far away that you've just got to see.
