Sweet Jamaica - Live - Eric Donaldson

Sweet Jamaica is now on the move

Help me with my song and let the people dem come sing along

Tek up yu cutlass, yu shovel and yu hoe

Tek up yu boots dem, people let us go

Call out the youth-man, rallo let us show

Sweet Jamaica we really want to grow

If dem a dreadlock, run dem mek them come

If dem a baldhead, run dem mek them come

If dem a screwface, run dem mek them come

Run dem, run dem, run dem mek them come

Rain a fall but the dut be tough

Pull up yu sleeve man, nuh tell mi 'bout no hard luck

Come on fatty just leave Daddy,

Let the man come dig grung with me

Today we sow, tomorrow we reap

Then everything will be sweet sweet sweet

Corn and yam, banana too

And our livestock won’t be few

If dem a dreadlock, run dem mek dem come

If dem a baldhead, run dem mek dem come

If dem a screwface, run dem mek dem come

Run dem, run dem, run dem mek dem come

Run Miss Millie don’t act silly,

Go call yu son, the one name Willie

We want to work a little faster

We gonna dance all about little later

Stripes and all, and high boots too

Don’t worry Granny I’ve got one for you

Grandpa Joseph steam run come,

Here is you high boots go on have some fun

This ya hard time cant last long

Dance be merry, the work is done

If dem a dreadlock, run dem mek dem come

If dem a baldhead, run dem mek dem come

If dem a screwface, run dem mek dem come

Run dem, run dem, run dem mek dem come

If dem a dreadlock, run dem mek dem come

If dem a baldhead, run dem mek dem come

If dem a screwface, run dem mek dem come

Run dem, run dem, run dem mek dem come

If dem a dreadlock, run dem mek dem come

If dem a baldhead, run dem mek dem come

If dem a screwface, run dem mek dem come

Run dem, run dem, run dem mek dem come
