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

Run Miss Millie don't act silly,
Go call yu son, the one name Willie
We want to work a little faster
We gonna dance all about little later
Stripes and all, and high boots too
Don't worry Granny I've got one for you
Grandpa Joseph steam run come,
Here is you high boots go on have some fun
This ya hard time cant last long
Dance be merry, the work is done

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

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

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
