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
