Montego Bay Lyrics

MONTEGO BAY

(Hank Cochran - Glenn Martin)

I showed her most of Tennessee that's all I could afford

I even thought of stealing so I could show her more

But she never did seem happy and I often heard her say

Hey I like it here but I love Montego Bay

Oh I should have gone with her at least I wouldn't know

What about Montego Bay that makes it pull so strong

All I've got's old mem'ries of the way she used to say

Hey I like it here but I love Montego Bay

Why couldn't I convince her why couldn't I make her see

There's no way Montego Bay needs her more than me

When she left she seemed so happy I can still hear her say

Hey I like it here but I love Montego Bay

Why couldn't I convince her...
