I lost my head on a Virgin Island
she buried her in a dark graveyard
where a thousand men and a dozen women
lay down their lives
left behind their hearts
Nina's flown away
I knew she'd never stay
she was a wild seventeen
I told her take my heart with you
and take my lover too
I know I'd do the same if it were me
I lost my head on the seas of China
she flew away like a little bird
that the trade winds blow
her beauty shines but that cannot save her
from a sword that struck my heart many years ago
that the trade winds blow
Nina's flown away
I knew she'd never stay
she was a wild seventeen
I told her take my heart with you
and take my lover too
I know I'd do the same if it were me
Nina's flown away
I knew she'd never stay
she was a wild seventeen
I told her take my heart with you
and take my lover too
I know I'd do the same if it were me
