This big city I don't like it don't like me   Why did I board that sailing ship on Tahiti   I ask man in uniform which way your place   I show people picture of your pretty face      City girl with golden curl now where are you   Tahitian boy follow like you tell him to   Now I stand and call for many times your name   I guess maybe time and distance made you change   [ guitar ]   Why did you make island boy make mistake   Tomorrow morning sailing ship I must take   Island music and the beach made you talk wrong   I must return to island now where I belong      City girl with golden curl now where are you...
