Lizzie

Come on …

In 1872 the Lizzie left Jamaica,
She sailed from Kingston
To land in Costa Rica
Lizzie was the first ship,
She brought one hundred twenty three
Jamaicans to build the railroad.

Lizzie iiiiiiie iiiiiiie,
Lizzie iiiiiiie iiiiiiie

Oh mother Lizzie,
Take me to the land of my dreams
Don’t let me drown here
Oh mother Lizzie
Carry on…

Can you imagine Lizzie?
Sailing through the caribbean sea
Towards the rich coast
To build a railroad,
Making history

Lizzie iiiiiiie iiiiiiie,
Lizzie iiiiiiie iiiiiiie

Oh mother Lizzie,
Take me to the land of my dreams
Don’t let me drown here
Oh mother Lizzie
Carry on
Carry on
Carry on

In the jungle,
In the middle of the jungle,
You see the men
Working for a better future
They carry nothing,
They carry nothing but HOPE.

Lizzie iiiiiiie iiiiiiie,
Lizzie iiiiiiie iiiiiiie

Oh mother Lizzie,
Carry on
Carry on
Carry on
Carry on
Carry on
Carry on
Oh mother Lizzie…
Take me to the land of my dreams

Lizzie was the first ship she brought,
One hundred twenty three
Jamaicans to build the railroad.

One hundred twenty three
Jamaicans to build the railroad.

One hundred twenty three Jamaicans.
