Smile Jamaica

Oh I met a girl this morning
She was love at first sight
Oh I met a girl this morning
And she was beauty to my eyes
I asked her where she’s from, she tell me in the Tropics
She asked me what’s my name
I tell her «I am Chronixx»
And I said girl tell me what’s your name
She told me that her name is Jamaica
And I said
Smile girl smile
Smile for me Jamaica
Never you cry
Here am I
I’m here for you Jamaica
Dry your eyes
Girl smile
Smile for me Jamaica
She have a rich history
A beautiful woman with the sweetest gifts
Beautiful sunrise and an evening kiss
I find a nice sunset on the evenin seas
But she tell me seh she’s tired
Tired of di exploit and di liars
She gave them reggae beaches flowers and ferns
All she got is abuse in return
But
I said
Don’t you worry yourself mama

Ooooh, I said no worry yourself mommy
A one thing me a beg ya do for me
