Lyrics

I
Between the deep blue ocean,
And the Caribbean Sea,
Where the waves are in motion
Lies a Pearl so dear to me,
From Quill to Little Mountain
From Venus to White Wall,
Long ago a Golden Fountain
Once a diamond waterfall.

Chorus:
Golden Rock, I’ll always miss you,
When I am far from thee,
Never, never I’ll forget you
Where-so-ever I may be.

II
Statia's past, you are admired,
though Rodney fill his bag,
The First salute were fired o’
The American Flag,
The freedom of a nation,
Promoted by our Fort,
American and Statian,
Both praise for it our Lord.

Chorus

III
Among the ruined houses,
Of low and upper town,
There a lofty feeling rouses,
Which never can break down,
Its faithfulness forever,
As ever it has been,
May God forsake us never,
And save Governor and Queen.

Chorus[1][4]
