Down in Jamaica they got lots of pretty women, take all your lovin' then they break your heart

Lonesome Sue, she's in love with ol' Sam, Take him from the fire into the fryin' pan

Poor ol' Jimmy he sits all alone in the moonlight, Saw his woman kiss another man

So he takes up a ladder, steals a star from the sky, Puts on some Marley and starts to cry
[Chorus]

Got the sun on my shoulders got my toes in the sand, My woman's left me for some other man
