Sweet Jamaica

in AlbumIzitso

Other people come and go

They try to make it through

I have to smile and tell them no

Cause I only care for you

I only care for you

Yes, you are my sweet, sweet Jamaica

Country mama, brown country girl

When you touch me I, I feel so tall

If you let me down boy I'd be so small

Yes, you are my sweet Jamaica

Country mama, brown country girl

Everybody needs a friend

To brighten up their world

I know you'll never let me down

Cause you're not that kind of girl, no no no

I want to see you round every turn

You're my world far as I'm concerned

Got no time to runabout

Just Want to spend my life out with you, only you

Yes, you are my sweet, sweet Jamaica,

Country mama, brown country girl

Oh, yes you are
