(Patrick Simmons)

Layin' back and sittin' in the sunshine

Hot wind, I drink me little wine

Straw hat down across my eyes

Lettin' the world go by

Music, it start my toes a tappin'

Drum beat, it set my hands a clappin'

Rum wine, it get my head a spinnin'

Turnin' around and 'round

Caribbean current, please take me

I hear you callin' me home

Got to get back to Jamaica

I want no more to roam

Caribbean current, please take me

I hear you callin' me home

Got to get back to Jamaica



Gypsy, she say I got the fever

I don't know whether to believe her

But when the wind blow from the sea

My soul start to fly away

She give me charm that will protect me

Necklace with stone from far across the sea

But island magic much too strong

It won't let me go this time



Caribbean current, please take me

I hear you callin' me home

Got to get back to Jamaica

I want no more to roam

Caribbean current, please take me

I hear you callin' me home

Got to get back to Jamaica



Caribbean current, please take me

I hear you callin' me home

Got to get back to Jamaica

I want no more to roam

Caribbean current, please take me

I hear you callin' me home

Got to get back to Jamaica
