Here's the version that's been proposed for the Rise Again songbook. It comes from one of "those" Websites, the ones I don't usually trust: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/k/kingston_trio/bay_of_mexico.html Turns out the lyrics are from the self-titled Kingston Trio album (1958). Round the Bay of Mexico Round that Bay of Mexico / Way oh, Susianna! Mexico is the place that I belong in / Round the Bay of Mexico C - G C / - - F C / F Em Dm G / C - G C Wind from the East & it's blowin' strong / Way oh… Looks like a hurricane comin' along, well / Round… Wind will blow & that rain will pour Better get the sugar boats up on the shore, now Why those young gals love me so? 'Cos I don't tell ev'rything that I know When I was a young man & in my prime Court those young girls 10 at a time, boys Nassau girls ain't got no comb Comb their hair with a whipper back bone When I leave the sea, I'll settle down With a big, fat mama from Bimini town trad.
