Sweet Jamaica is now on the move
Help me with my song and mek di people dem come sing along
Take up yuh cutlass yuh shovel and yuh hoe
Take up yuh books den people let us go
Call up the yout man grand and let us show
Sweet Jamaica you really want to know
If dem a dread locks run dem mek dem come
If dem a bald head run dem mek dem come
If dem a screw face run dem mek dem come
Run dem run dem run dem mek dem come
Rain a fall but di dutty tough
Pull up yuh sleeve man nuh tell me bout nuh hard work
Come on son just leave daddy
Lef di man come dig grung with me
Today we sow tomorrow we reap
Den everything will be sweet, sweet, sweet
Corn and yam bananas too and our livestock won't be few
If dem a dread lock run dem mek dem come
If dem a bald head run dem mek dem come
If dem a screw face run dem mek dem com
Run dem, run dem run dem mek dem come

If dem a dread lock run dem mek dem come
If dem a bald head run dem mek dem come
If dem a screw face run dem mek dem com
Run dem, run dem run dem mek dem come
