Oh Jamaica - Jimmy Cliff

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
