Montego Bay Songtext
von Merle Haggard and The Strangers

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
I like it here
But I love Montego Bay." Oh, I should have gone with her
At least I would know
What about Montego Bay that makes its pull so strong?
All I've got′s a memory of the way she used to say
"Hey, I like it here
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
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
I like it here
But I love Montego Bay
