Bunny Wailer - Here In Jamaica Lyrics
Come along every goodieCome and hear what I have to sayCome and listen and I will tell youWhat is the talk of the town todayand every corner that you may walkYou see a group of people balkThey're not skylarkin' they're talkin''bout what's happening here in JamaicaCan't get no work off hustlingand man, when you take a stockCan't cook no rice and dumplingand will soon end up in a shackCan't pay no rent, 'cause you don't have a centNo government account, it's already spentSo you end up borrowing, begging or stealing, here in JamaicaSome a dem long, long treat badand they don't care a thing about thatdesperation is getting so badyou either bite the bullet or get flatand if a-you should die before his dayWho are responsible don't want to payI am not jokin', I'm talkin' 'bout what's happening herein Jamaica--Whoa Yea--Why don't you take us onward to AfricaWhere we can sit and eat and chatfor it is no use dying in Jamaica'cause we can't afford a burial spotRemember Marcus Garvey predicted that daywhen all black people shall be going awayto the land of our forefathers, and our mothersright here in EthiopiaOh what a glorious morningwhen we shall leap out of BabylonThere shall be singin', dancin' and rejoicingwith the dawn of the rising sunAnd all the Africans,home and abroadJust like the Israelites we shall be gladTo leave our worries, trials and crosses, here in Jamaicaso, come along every goodieCome and hear what I have to sayCome and listen and I will tell youWhat is the talk of the town todayand to every corner that you may walkYou see a group of people balkThey're not skylarkin' they're talkin''bout what's happening here in JamaicaI am not jokin' , I'm talkin' 'bout what's happening here in JamaicaThey're not skylarkin' they're talkin' 'bout what's happening here in Jamaica
