1.
My heart is drifting southward
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
2.
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
3.
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
And use it as His place
