Swimming in a sea of fantasy
And schooling all the fish in view
A mermaid in these waters gave birth to me
‘Cause I was born Jamaica Blue
I was born Jamaica Blue
I was born Jamaica Blue
I was born Jamaica Blue
I was born Jamaica Blue
I was born Jamaica Blue
The river is running on time again
What goes around comes around
Don't bite off more than your mouth can chew
And hate the circus
But don't hate the clowns
‘Cause I was born Jamaica Blue
I was born Jamaica Blue
I was born Jamaica Blue
I was born Jamaica Blue
I was born Jamaica Blue
I was born Jamaica Blue
The moonlight tonight is traveling
From the roots of my heart to you
My mother gave birth to me in these seas
Where I was baptized by the breeze
‘Cause I was born Jamaica Blue
I was born Jamaica Blue
I was born Jamaica Blue
I was born Jamaica Blue
I was born Jamaica Blue
I was born Jamaica Blue
I was born Jamaica Blue
I was born Jamaica Blue
I was born Jamaica Blue
I was born Jamaica Blue . . .
