Lyrics
| style="vertical-align:top; white-space:nowrap;"
| To my home down in the sea To the isle of St Helena Where my loved ones wait for me Long since I left it But I'll soon be going home To my St Helena island And swear I'll never roam Diamonds they are pretty So is your fancy cars But St Helena island Is much prettier by far All the wonders of this world I'm told they number seven But St Helena Island Is the nearest one to heaven Diamonds they are pretty So is your fancy cars But St Helena island Is much prettier by far Someday if the Lord above Comes out of heaven's gate 𝄆 I'm sure He'll pick St Helena |
