Doobie Brothers - Mamaloi

Mamaloi

(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 dont know whether to believe her
But when the wind blow from the sea
My soul start to fly away
She gi have me charm that wi will protect me
Necklace with stone from far across the sea
But island magic much too strong
It wont 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
