Guh let mi tell yuh

Seh mi know 'bout Jamaica

Well watcha man!

Jamaica is a land where full of adventure

Land of gold and sunshine and mi seh who dem

The famous and the great Dunn’s River

Jamaica surround by Caribbean water

The Arowak Indian was the originator

Then the Spaniards, the English, and nuff more follow

Mi seh Christopher Colombus was a great founder

Born and grown down in Italy inna Geneva

Jah man him was di son of a wool weaver

But then him strive to become a sailor

Him travel for Spain, him was a navigator

Check King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella

Him get di Pinta di Nina di Santa Maria

And two hundred men dem armed like soldier

Dem sort pon dem weapon dem want shoot a

Columbus a di captain, him a 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 down in Jamaica

Dem land inna a place called Santa Gloria

Mi seh down inna di St. Anne’s Bay area

But dey life ketch dem inna dry harbor

Because dem rush out and run out of water

Dem dock up dey ship and fling out dem anchor

And tek out dem arms and invade di area

Hold on, stumble 'pon some Arowak warrior

Dem never lick a shot before an arrow dem a fiyah

Di chief a di master, him head full uh feather

Him arrow 'pon him back nah no Winchester

Columbus tek over like a brave soldier

BOOM!

Block out di show an lick him one shooter

A mi seh little after that a bere 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 tek over

Come Mister Mister Cat mi a guh teach culture

Inna 1658 it was a small disaster

Jah man dem total battle down a

Inna 1659 we first civil governor

Edward D’Oyley him was a brave warrior

Him fight like a lion fi save Jamaica

Him never look no worry, always conquer

Inna 1755, I-man still remember

Seh Kingston made di capital inna Jamaica

Mi know bout Jamaica corner

Mi a guh tell yuh how much acre mek up Jamaica

Mi seh 2.8 Million Acre

And you can drive from Kingston to

If yuh cyaa drive a junction yuh must a nova
