My Saint Helena Island is the unofficial regional anthem of Saint Helena. It was written by Dave Mitchell in 1975, after persuasion from the inhabitants of Saint Helena. As a British Overseas Territory, the national anthem is "God Save the King".[1]
Diamonds they are prettySo is your fancy carsBut St Helena islandIs much prettier by farAll the wonders of this worldI'm told they number sevenBut St Helena IslandIs the nearest one to heaven Diamonds they are prettySo is your fancy carsBut St Helena islandIs much prettier by farSomeday if the Lord aboveComes out of heaven's gate I'm sure He'll pick St HelenaAnd use it as His place |
