Ginger Town 1919 'A New Girl'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 01 Mar 2005

Sunny Jamaica, home of mine
if you would take a trip mighty fine,
ship on a liner and we'll go
down where the Tamarind and Mango grow,
where ev'rybody trips a tangotoe
where love is warm,
and life is soft and slow,
under the cocoa branches high,
Oh, my!
That's where I'd live and die.

Ginger Town, Ginger Town
that is where I long to be.
Down where the palm trees nod to the sea.
Down where the sands are hot
Great Scott!
In all the world there's not another spot
so fair as it is there,
where the rivers shimmy shiver
that's the place, that's the place.
If you love me, take me down
to the land of beauty,
oh my sweet Patootie
Come to Ginger Town.

Ginger Town, Ginger Town
that is where I long to be.
Down where the palm trees nod to the sea.
Down where the sands are hot
Great Scott!
In all the world there's not another spot
so fair as it is there,
where the rivers shimmy shiver
that's the place, that's the place.
If you love me, take me down
to the land of beauty,
oh my sweet Patootie
Come to Ginger Town.
