Land of My Birth Songtext
von Eric Donaldson

This is the land of my birth
I say this is the land of my birth
I say this is jamaica, my jamaica, the land of my birth

I will never leave her shores
I will never run away
I will always believe in the black, the green, the gold I say
All nations greater by their trials
We must face the test of time

′Cause our people they are strong, and we're goin′ to get along
Though some people say we poor, but the progress
You make my friend is not always how rich you are

I say this is the land of my birth
I say this is the land of my birth
I say this is jamaica, my jamaica, the land of my birth


Let us stop for a minute, count our blessings one by one
We should never be disloyal
But stand up and keep strong
My Jamaica is a beautiful Island
She is the crown of the Caribbean sea
And our people they are free, no oppression here to see

With the prettiest women there be and the hills,
And the plains and the rivers and the valleys always beckon to me

I say this is the land of my birth
I say this is the land of my birth
I say this is jamaica, my Jamaica, the land of my birth

Miss tourist, Mr tourist, leave your land and come
Tarry here for a while, and I will bathe in the warm warm sun
We will share a lot with you
Our people they are true, they will want to be with you

They will love, they will help, they will give
If you wish my friend you can live
You will be a happier one in the land of the rising sun

I say this is the land of my birth
I say this is the land of my birth
I say this is Jamaica, my Jamaica, the land of my birth

I say this is the land of my birth
I say this is the land of my birth
I say this is Jamaica, my Jamaica...
