Eddy Grant - Jamaican Child Lyrics
(Shabba-yabba-yabba, babe)
Squeeze me, darling
(Shabba-yabba-yabba, babe)
Hold me, honey
(Shabba-yabba-yabba, babe, yeah)
(Shabba-yabba-yabba, babe)
Hold me, darling
(Shabba-yabba-yabba, babe)
Hold me, baby
(Shabba-yabba-yabba, babe, yeah)
I said, feel, ah...
Jamaican child, Jamaican child
Say they wanna stop you running wild
Oh, Jamaican child, Jamaican child
Say they wanna stop you running wild
Say they wanna cut off your dreadlocks, child, ah...
Hear they put a price tag on your food
Enough to make a rich man brood
Oh, the other thing
You never knowing who is who
They wanna find out how you breed
Oh, read the fine print when you read
You know there ain't no other way, oh, child
Jamaican child, Jamaican child
Say they wanna stop you running wild
Say they wanna cut off your dreadlocks, child
Ah, Jamaican child, Jamaican child
Say they wanna stop you running wild
Say they wanna cut off your dreadlocks, child, ah-ah...
Hear there is a price tag on your head
Oh, but you're more alive than dead
Oh, your message is in me, child
Oh, oh-oh...
Jamaican child, Jamaican child
(Oh, they wanna)
Say they wanna stop you running wild
Say they wanna cut off your dreadlocks, child
Jamaican child, Jamaican child
(Oh, yeah)
Say they wanna stop you running wild
(Oh, yeah)
Say they wanna cut off your dreadlocks, child...

Eddy Grant Jamaican Child Comments
Happy Birthday to you Eddy .All Guyana is proud of you.
it's one of his first songs.1977
One of his first songs?
Oh my god i can't stop to singing!
:)
Pure Reggae goodness.
MESSAGE MAN first and best album in my humble opinion-thanks Eddy!!!
racist.
I haven't heard this song in many many years, oh what a treat!
Dude, you're STILL using poor grammar and English. Stop embarrassing yourself.
As to you and the other low lives who can only resort to cuss words and insults you are truly showing who you are, underclass goons. You are either defending this fraud Eddie Grant because he is from the same bush-ass hell you are from or you all don't know this fool like I know him, I have no more time for this as I happens to be at work something which is quite foreign to you I am sure, don't need to reply, oops you can't the free internet you used before is no longer available.
I am just seeing this fool comment about grammar and spelling just goes to show how little you know, my text was part colloquial for authenticity if you know what this means, where you are from they obviously don't have any good schools but is very big on bluffing and bullshitting, I bet is the same bush ass place that fraud Eddie Grant is from. Get a life fool I happen to have a master's in economics.
garande eddy
