I been to Jamaica. I been to the South land. I`ve been down the river of no return many times before.
Chorus:
Now, won`t you carry me home, big ship, Glory, carry me home? Carry me home, big ship, Glory, carry me home.
I been through the sunshine. I been through the thunder. I`ve been through a hurricane bound for trouble in a Florida storm.
(Chorus)
Well, I don`t remember when it started. We were going strong and then we parted
Singing every song I ever knew since I was ten.
Yes, I rode a main sail for your honor. Even went to jail in Tijuana
If I had to live my life all over, I`d do it all again.
`Cause I`ve been through some good times. I`ve been through some troubles.
I`ve been through some hard times that had me wishin` I had never been born.
(Chorus twice and fade)
