Sweet Jamaica is now on the move
Help me with my song and let the people dem come sing along
Tek up yu cutlass, yu shovel and yu hoe
Tek up yu boots dem, people let us go Call out the youth-man, rallo let us show
Sweet Jamaica we really want to grow
If dem a dreadlock, run dem mek them come
If dem a baldhead, run dem mek them come
If dem a screwface, run dem mek them come
Run dem, run dem, run dem mek them come
Rain a fall but the dut be tough
Pull up yu sleeve man, nuh tell mi 'bout no hard luck
Come on fatty just leave Daddy,
Let the man come dig grung with me Today we sow, tomorrow we reap
Then everything will be sweet sweet sweet
Corn and yam, banana too
And our livestock won’t be few
If dem a dreadlock, run dem mek dem come
If dem a baldhead, run dem mek dem come
If dem a screwface, run dem mek dem come
Run dem, run dem, run dem mek dem come
