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
