On the island of Jamaica quit a long long time ago
At Rose Hall plantation where the ocean breezes blow
Lived a girl named Annie Palmer, the mistress of the place
And the slaves all lived in fear to see a frown on Annie's face
Chorus:
Where’s your husband Annie, where's number two and three
Are they sleeping beneath the palms beside the Caribbean sea
At night I hear you riding and I hear your lovers call
And I still can feel your presence around the great house at Rose Hall
Well if you should ever go to see the great house at Rose Hall
There's expensive chairs and china and great paintings on the wall
They'll show you any sitting room and the whipping post outside
But they won't let you see the room where Annie's husbands died
chorus
