NEW MOON OVER JAMAICA
Words and music Johnny Cash, Tom T. Hall & Paul McCartney
As recorded by Johnny Cash, Paul McCartney, Linda McCartney, June Carter Cash, & Tom T. Hall on "Water from the Wells of Home" (1988)

CHORUS: There's a new moon over Jamaica
And a New Year just got here, you see
There's a new moon over Jamaica
And I'm living with an old memory

So won't you come back to Jamaica?
You know, it isn't so far.
Look up in the sky where you left me that night.
I'll be standing right under that star. CHORUS

I said good evening to Venus
She said good evening, too
Out there somewhere, you know, I could swear
She sent a message of true love from you. CHORUS

A new moon makes someone feel happy.
A new moon makes someone lovesick.
I'm thinking of you, but what can I do?
New moons and new years (sing it for us) and old loves don't mix. CHORUS

Just the New Year, a new moon and me.
