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 the shores |
| From John Hawkins to Henry Morgan and many more |
| They all loved you for your beauty 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 Kingston to Mo Bay |
| Discontentment is the order of the day |
| And like your sisters that are in the Caribbean |
| Disaffection from rejection can be seen |
| Your many lovers were deceivers from the start |
| Now your sons and daughters are grieved 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 |
