Jamaica Mama
On a visit down the Caribbean way
To be exact in Montego Bay
I chanced to see a pretty baby
A lovely pickney smile
And I lost my heart
By the sea in Montego Bay
A beauty was she my little baby
Jamaica-Mama - uuh
You have a pretty daughter
And when I leave her - uuh
I cry livin' eye water
I didn't want those days to end
I'd never known such happiness
I never told her that I soon will have to go - no, no
Chor und Udo: düdüdü.
I followed her up the mountain side
I went with her for a donkey ride
We ran and played, love was around me
And then one evening I wanted to say:
My plane will soon leave Montego Bay
But the glim in her eyes
Suddenly warned me
Jamaica-Mama - uuh
You have a pretty daughter
And when I leave her - uuh
I cry livin' eye water
I didn't want those days to end
I'd never known such happiness
I never told her that I soon will have to go - no, no
Chor und Udo: düdüdü.
I went to her Mama
But I couldn't find words
When I tried to tell her the truth
She said: My son - God go with you
Jamaica- Mama - uuh
I have to leave your daughter
Jamaica-Mama - uuh
And I cry livin' eye water
I didn't want those days to end
I'd never known such happiness
And that I fell in love so deep
I couldn't know - no, no
Chor und Udo: düdüdü.
And that I never will forget these days
I know
Chor und Udo: düdüdü.
And that I never will forget these days
I know
To be exact in Montego Bay
I chanced to see a pretty baby
A lovely pickney smile
And I lost my heart
By the sea in Montego Bay
A beauty was she my little baby
Jamaica-Mama - uuh
You have a pretty daughter
And when I leave her - uuh
I cry livin' eye water
I didn't want those days to end
I'd never known such happiness
I never told her that I soon will have to go - no, no
Chor und Udo: düdüdü.
I followed her up the mountain side
I went with her for a donkey ride
We ran and played, love was around me
And then one evening I wanted to say:
My plane will soon leave Montego Bay
But the glim in her eyes
Suddenly warned me
Jamaica-Mama - uuh
You have a pretty daughter
And when I leave her - uuh
I cry livin' eye water
I didn't want those days to end
I'd never known such happiness
I never told her that I soon will have to go - no, no
Chor und Udo: düdüdü.
I went to her Mama
But I couldn't find words
When I tried to tell her the truth
She said: My son - God go with you
Jamaica- Mama - uuh

Jamaica-Mama - uuh
And I cry livin' eye water
I didn't want those days to end
I'd never known such happiness
And that I fell in love so deep
I couldn't know - no, no
Chor und Udo: düdüdü.
And that I never will forget these days
I know
Chor und Udo: düdüdü.
And that I never will forget these days
I know
