 Take me back to where de young girl have de charms 
 Where the green bananas grow and the Rio Grandee flow, mon
 Take me back to Jamaica where I were born

 "Tell them my friends, tell them"
 
 Take me back and me have some good fun
 Take me back to Jamaica in the sun
 Where we all can sit and dine, and off in the sunny sunny land of mine
 Take me back to Jamaica where I were born
