| + | **JAMAICA**\\ | ||
| + | This tune is derived from a 1656 broadside ballad | ||
| + | entitled Joy after Sorrow, being the Sea-mans return from | ||
| + | Jamaica, inspired by the recent British capture of Jamaica | ||
| + | in the West Indies. The first verse follows: | ||
| + | 1. There was a maid as I heard tell,\\ | ||
| + | Which fell in desperation.\\ | ||
| + | She lov'd a young man passing well,\\ | ||
| + | Which brought her in vexation: | ||
| + | The young man had the maid beguil' | ||
| + | The matter so was carried, | ||
| + | For he had gotten her with Child\\ | ||
| + | Before that they were married.\\ | ||
| + | Which caus'd this maid to make great moan,\\ | ||
| + | And often times to speak so,\\ | ||
| + | My belly is up and my heart is down,\\ | ||
| + | And my love is gone to Jamaica...\\ | ||
