Hanson Lyrics
"Back To The Island"

This station rules the nation

Come on
Come on
Ya
Ya
Here we go
Ya
Ya
Go back to the island boy

Wake up early one morning
Kiss my mama goodbye
Going back to the island
I'll see ya
Don't worry mama
Don't cry

Ya
Everybody
Let's do it

Be leaving on the island stable
I sure hope that she's still able
Going to sea around 5 o'clock
I'll stand at the bow and see the dock out
Out in the fields from dawn 'til dusk
Swimming in the blue hole is a must
That island where I was born
First thing I will do is grow some corn

Wake up early one morning
Kiss my mama goodbye
Going back to the island
I'll see ya
Don't worry mama
Don't cry

Been cooking outside in the iron pot
So young when I learned
I haven't forgot how to cast
And walking old folks smoking pipes and talking
Saturday night we're gonna dance and sway
Shake my bell
Do the dawn day people
Don't you understand
Live like a king and be a happy man

Wake up early one morning
Kiss my mama goodbye
Going 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 ya going to go there
By mail boat

Are you ready
How ya going to go there
By mail boat

A go
A go
A go
A go
A go
A go
A go
A go
A go
A go
A go
A go

We got to go down to Nassau
Go to New USA
Go to Cat Island
Long Key and X-Zuba
Go down to Frequia
Go to New Guinea
Go to Long Island and Latina

Wake up early one morning
Kiss my mama goodbye
Going 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
Going back to the island
I'll see ya
Don't worry mama
Don't cry
