Easy mister Cat, and I say, easy my man

Jamaica, Jamaica, che-ri-bim-bang

Yes, Jamaica is a land a full of adventure

Land of gold and sunshine and, me seh,

The famous and the great observer

Jamaica surround by Caribbean water

Arawak Indian was the originator

Then the Spaniards, the English, and nuff more follow

I seh, Christopher Columbus was a great founder

Born and grown dung a Italy inna Geneva

Jah man, him was di son of a wool weaver

But then him strive to become a sailor

Him then travel for Spain, him was a navigator

To King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella

Him get di pinta di Santa Maria

And two hundred men armed like soldier

Dem sort pon dem weapon, dem want shoot a

Yes, Columbus was di captain, was di ruler

Dem sail out a Spain across di blue water

Down in San Salvador, first dem discover

Continue their voyage, reach down inna Cuba

Inna 1494 dem reach inna Jamaica

A land inna a di place called Santa Gloria

I seh, down inna di St. Anne’s Bay area

But they life catch dem inna dry harbor

Because dem run shotta out and run out of water

Dem affi dock up dem ship and fling out dem anchor

And take out dem arms and invade di area

Hold on, stumble 'pon some Arawak warrior

Fa dem never lick a shot, bow an arrow dem a fiyah

Di chief a di master, him head full a feather

Columbus take over like a brave soldier (bim)

Block out di show an lick him one shooter

A, me seh, little after that a pure shot start fiyah

And soon dem get a conquer inna Jamaica

And give all di riches to di Spain leader

Inna 1655 blood run like river

When di English fight di Spaniards and then take over

Inna 1658 it was a small disaster

Seh, it was total battle down a Rio Nueva

Inna 1659 first civil governor

Edward D’Oyley, him was a brave warrior

Him fight like a lion, fi save Jamaica

Him never lose no war, man always conquer

Inna 1755, I-man still remember

Seh, Kingston turn di capital fi Jamaica

Me know 'bout Jamaica

Me a go tell you how much acre make up Jamaica

Me seh, two point eight million acre

And you can drive from Kingston to Old Harbour

Santa Cruz, Savanna-la-Mar and you touch Hanover

If you cyaan drive a junction, you must a nova

Barry G a we greatest, dread di entertainer

Jamaica, Jamaica, guh-lang, guh-lang

Jamaica, Jamaica, che-ri-bim-bang

Jamaica, Jamaica, guh-lang, guh-lang

I said, Jamaica is a land a full of adventure

Land of gold and sunshine and, I seh,

The famous and the great observer
