Oh Jamaica

Oh Jamaica, oh Jamaica, oh Jamaica

You're always on my mind

Oh Jamaica, oh Jamaica, oh Jamaica

You're always on my mind

Jamaica, men have called you since Columbus sailed to the shores

From John Hawkins to Henry Morgan and many more

They all loved you for your party and your wealth

But cared nothing for your welfare or your health

Now you're a woman that has fallen in the dust

But your children will help you because they must

Oh Jamaica, oh Jamaica, oh Jamaica

You're always on my mind

From the Midlands to Morant Point, from Kingston to Mobay

Discontentment is the order of the day

And like your sisters that are in the Caribbean

Disaffection from deception can be seen

Your many lovers were deceivers from the start

Now your sons and daughters hug you to the heart

Oh Jamaica, oh Jamaica, oh Jamaica

You're always on my mind

Oh Jamaica, oh Jamaica, oh Jamaica

You're always on my mind

Oh Jamaica, oh Jamaica, oh Jamaica

You're always on my mind

They don't know, oh Jamaica,

Oh Jamaica now, oh Jamaica

Hey, hey, eh you're always on my mind

Oh Jamaica, hey hey hey, oh Jamaica, hmmn hmmn

Oh Jamaica, oh Jamaica, hey, hey, hey, hey

Oh Jamaica, oh Jamaica now, oh Jamaica

Eeee eee hey, you're always on my mind
