Down In Jamaica
Shalli · Other Songs - Rootz Revealerz
Jamaica, jamaica
I never seen a place so sweeter these days
And trust me I've traveled around and around
A treasure like this isle has never been found
Montego bay to kingston town
A paradise with sweet, sweet sounds
[Chorus]
Of jamaica, beautiful land and water
Everybody come on yeah, come on down to Jamaica
Jamaica, take me down to halova,
Saint james saint anabolan
Come on down to jamaica
Wake up early morning to acken saltfish
Faster ... chicken traste criss, criss, criss
You say jamaican food is spicy and rich
Rhasta man come fix, I turn ish
Saint anspeck, to spanish town
A paradise with sweet, sweet sounds
[Chorus]
Of jamaica, beautiful land and water
Everybody come on yeah, come on down to Jamaica
Jamaica, take me down to halova,
Saint james saint anabolan
Come on down to jamaica
Lay right back and music touches your soul
Dancing all night long we'll never grow long
Feel the base sound systems taking you there
The island vibes down here are ever so rare
In ochorios, we whine up close
Come skank with me feeling so free
[Chorus]
In jamaica, beautiful land and water
Everybody come on yeah, come on down to Jamaica
Jamaica, take me down to halova,
Saint james saint anabolan
Come on down to jamaica.
