Oh what sorrows and pain in Jamaica with the hurricane
Oh what sorrows and pain in Jamaica with the hurricane
The winds was so terrific as you know
A hundred miles an hour was an awful blow
A sad calamity, so awful sympathy, to friends and their family
While houses was falling, ay ay
And people was bawling, oy oy
Convicts didn't fail, to run away from Kingston jail
The winds was lashing so hard that Saturday
People was notice may
Though the soldier house is all crumbling furniture stumbling
Thousands of people was take the mice
Kingston the city was far alice?
A real catastrophe, it was in history
So offer your sympathy
While houses was falling, ay ay
And people was bawling, oh lord
Convicts didn't fail, to run away from Kingston jail
At Moraine bay they will always remember, this great disaster
It was like a year at mount royal, it was pretty calm
House tops were blown off everywhere, casualties both there and there
It was a heavy blow,
And then they got to know that it was heading for Mexico
While houses was falling, ay ay
And people was bawling, oh lord
Convicts didn't fail, to run away from Kingston jail
Thousands are homeless now in Jamaica, we must consider
Money came in from every direction to help the situation
Council Macintosh put for what he have
And reverend Dell with his relief fund
A sad calamity, it was in history, so keep it in memory
What you say
While houses was falling, ay ay
And people was bawling, oh lord
Convicts didn't fail, to run away from Kingston jail
