Sweet Jamaica Lyrics & Chords By Eric Donaldson

Sweet Jamaica is now on the move,
Help me with my song and mek di people dem come sing along,
Take up yuh cutlass yuh shovel and yuh hoe,
Take up yuh books den people let us go
Call up the yout man grand and let us show,
Sweet Jamaica you really want to know,
If dem a dread locks run dem mek dem come,
if dem a bald head run dem mek dem come,
if dem a screw face run dem mek dem come.
run dem run dem run dem mek dem come
Rain a fall but di dutty tough,
Pull up yuh sleeve man nuh tell me bout nuh hard work,
Come on son just leave daddy,
Lef di man come dig grung with me,
Today we sow tomorrow we reap
Den everything will be sweet, sweet, sweet.
Corn and yam bananas too and our livestock won't be few.
If dem a dread lock run dem mek dem come,
if dem a bald head run dem mek dem come,
if dem a screw face run dem mek dem com,
run dem, run dem run dem mek dem come.
Run ms. milly don't act silly,
Go call you son, the one name willy,
We want to work a little faster,
We gonna dance all about little later,
Stripes and all and high boots too,
Don't worry granny i've got one for you
Granpa joseph still run come,
Here is high boot go have some fun.
Dis yah hard life last us long,
Let’s be merry the work is done
If dem a dread lock run dem mek dem come,
if dem a bald head run dem mek dem come,
if dem a screw face run dem mek dem com,
run dem, run dem run dem mek dem come.
