A decrepid raft drifts onto the beach and a ragged old fart stumbles ashore.

"Now Skiff be boy! a lot of these here Yankees don't know 'Island Woman', that great song from The Spinners. Didn't Cliffie write that one?"

"So let's sing it again for them, and here's the words so they can all sing along"

Chorus:
Island Woman, Island woman,
making me forget o who I am
Island Woman, Island woman,
making me forget o who I am

The fishing is good near your island
That's why I come back for more
I saw you swim near my boat and
I followed you back to the shore

Chorus:

Forgot to go back to market
sell me fish and get paid
forgot my wife and my children
forgot they soon will be aged.

Chorus:

You danced for me in the moonlight
drank the rum and had fun
When I awoke in the daylight
you took my money and run

Chorus:

Now my pocket is full of empty
I'm back with my family
but someday when I have money
I'll be coming back, you will see.

Chorus:
