No One Is An Island
Words & Music:
Alex Kramer & Joan Whitney (1940s)
(based on the John Donne poem)
There are two versions of this because the top version is what I came up with when I was
trying to reconstruct this song from memory. I later found my notes from the '70s and
that is version two of the chords. Yes, the words in version one are changed to include those
of us who went to girls' camps. The other has the traditional words. Pick your fave & enjoy!
This tune was a popular reggae tune in the 1960s & 1970s & covered by many early reggae
artists.
