You have the first three of six verses there (and a stray repeat?). Here's the rest as given in "Songs and Poems by Percy French":

------------------

Oh ! the old Jamaica days !
How we used to lie and laze
And think of people working
As a curious kind of craze
Wear and tear of brain and muscle
How we wondered if it pays
As we rafted down the Rio
In the old Jamaica days

There's a terror in the treetops
And where the shadows brood
For the wild cat and the scorpion
And the snakes are seeking food
The alligators blink at us
From fever-haunted bays
And the woods knew Devil worship -
In those old Jamaica days

Oh! The old Jamaica days!
When the sun's mid-winter rays
Have failed to pierce the fogs that fill
Our murky alley ways
We'll sit beside the fire, old friend,
And as the embers blaze
Go rafting down the Rio-
In the old Jamaica days.


Regards
